BTW: MSDE is SQL Server 2000 based, and is starting to be replaced by SQL
Server Express (which is based off of SQL Server 2005 and is free to
install).
I am using Express in any new work - it is completely compatible with SQL
2000 servers. Additionally, it does not have that annoying problem of
having to be on the console to install.
I don't know if these other tools will work on it, but probably.

Hi,
Sorry, should have explained. An Access data store is still available for
Presentation Servers, I just wouldn't use it. As you're probably aware, MSDE
is now bundled with Presentation Server.
With the availabilty of free and cheap MSDE admin tools I can't see any
reason for not using MSDE instead of the MSAccess data store. That's of
course if a production SQL server isn't available.
As an example of utilities, check out http://www.msdeadmin.biz for
MSDEAdmin. It lets you do almost everything you can with the full blown SQL
admin. Otherwise there's a freeware MSDE management tool that requires
MSAccess, MSDECFG.mdb.
Using MSDE (or SQL) instead of Access let's me easily clone servers and
dupilcate data stores for upgrades or testing. Why would I want to stick
with an Access data store? ;-)
regards,
Rick
