                                          | I think Express edition doesn't have Agent. You will find SQL Express as a service running in the Services window.Harsh AthalyeIndia."The IMPOSSIBLE is often UNTRIED" |

                                          | No Agent with Express edition    you need a payed for version to get that. It was included in MSDE, but was excluded to keep install file at a desent size (stupidiest reason I have ever heard).-- If you give someone a program, you will frustrate them for a day; if you teach them how to program, you will frustrate them for a lifetime. |
