When you're ready to go to production, it is a lot easier to migrate a
SQL Server Express or MSDE database then an Access db.

I was successful at getting Query Analyzer to access SQL 2005 Express.

FWIW freetds works fine with 2005 too, which is more than I can say for my applications :)

Have Fun!

Is that really the case, Brian? I mean, Access isn't exactly an unknown
brand itself, but, more important, it speaks a different dialect of SQL.

AIUI (and allowing for some marketing hyperbole) SS2K5E is a drop-in
T-SQL replacement for good ol' SQL Server. It has stored procedures,
triggers, views. Access has all that?

The real question would be, can it be a multi-user database? Is there
security and isolation? Is the whole user/group/role implementation
there; do tables have owners and permissions that attach to them?

If it's multi-user and merely lacking a remote-access protocol (no pun
intended), then frontending it with our server would be a cool and
useful hack IMO. OTOH, if it doesn't have those things, nothing we can
do will fix it.
