MSDE

I successfully installed MSDE, but I cannot open the application.
All my files and folder are installed under: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL$NETSDK. My operating system is Windows XP Professional and my
Internet Explorer is version 6.0.
What do I need to do? Please advice.
Thank you!
Hi
With MSDE, there is no application you can run. It is a database engine and
does not have a UI.
Generally developers write and application that uses MSDE as the database.
You could use Microsoft Access to access it through an ODBC connection.

|||However, it seems we couldn't use Access 2003 to create table with MSDE 2005
express. Is it normal? Or any patch we need to install? Thanks.

with the SQL 2005 meta-data so you won't be able to use them. There
currently isn't a new version of this available.
