Hi,

I am wondering if I am going to encounter any problems when I uninstall SQL Server 2005 standard edition and install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.

I am asking this as I found out today that a project I am developing (have been working on this for a few weeks now) that we're to be using Express edition. I am just hoping that I'm not going to come across any problems by doing this?

You shouldn't run into any issues.

But you should know that you don't have to uninstall standard in order to run express. You can run multiple instances using different versions on the same server.

cheers,

I don't see the point in running multiple versions though as I'm only supposed to be developing on express edition.
