[thelist] MSDE management

[Joshua Olson]

Norman,

Until someone speaks up that actually knows the answer, have you tried
simply copying the db to the HD, then set up an ODBC datasource to it that
uses the MSDE drivers?  The instructions you have are not really pertinent
because MSDE is *not* MSSQL.  The MSDE is more powerful than Access, and
uses the syntax of MSSQL, but it *not* MSSQL and is therefore missing the
cool features of it, like the Enterprise Manager.  But, again, you may be
able to just set it up as an ODBC datasource.

HTH,

: Hi all
:
: This is possibly me being a bit thick, but I'm rather stupmed atm.  I've
: installed the .net framework sdk on a win2k pro machine at home.  As part
of
: the install it's setup MSDE, with a number of sample databases.  Now my
: friend recently won a copy of Professional ASP.Net which he gave to me.
: I've started working my way through it but it requres an additional sample
: DB to be added to the server.  However it only includes instructions on
: adding it through SQL Server Enterprise Manager, and for the life of me I
: can't find this mentioned in the MSDE documentation anywhere.

: Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me out
