Has anyone tried using MSDE instead of the fully blown SQL 2000 as a data store in a direct connect scenario? If so, were there any tricks to get it working? I know that it is not supported and recommended, however I'm only deploying a single server for a client, and would prefer to place the data store on a different server. We're using MF XP 1.0 FR3.
