MSDE 2000 and Multiple Applications

I built a server that will have three applications that require MSDE 2000. We
do not have a SQL server. The apps are SharePoint Services, NAI's ePO and
Veritas' Backup Exec. Can all three applications use one copy of MSDE? This
is a small shop, so there won't be incredible load on the server. Obviously,
I'm not a DBA :-)
Thanks for your help!
I've answered my own question after I discovered in this group that I was
using the wrong terminology.
Thanks all!

MSDE & SQL Server 2000 on the same machine !

Hi all,

I started learning ASP .Net using the "Teach yourself ASP.Net in 24 hours". In that book, the applications use MSDE as the database tool.

Now i have started developing some big applications and have installled MS SQL Server 2000 on my machine.

I still have databases on the MSDE.

My question is 'How do i move the old databases from MSDE to SQL Server 2000' ?

Can i uninstall MSDE safely since i already installed SQL Server 2000 ?

Please let me know.

Thank You
:-)you can detach them all, then re-attach them to SQL Server 2k - then ditch the MSDE instance. though you don't actually need to...|||What is the exact step by step process to install SQL Server 2000 if you have a previously installed version of MSDE?

I want to start over, get rid of MSDE and install SQL Server 2000. I'm using Visual Studio 2003 and I have seen several discussion threads that indicate that re-installing MSDE can be EXTREMELY complicated. I'm not a hacker... just a newbie who wants to develop ASP.NET sites. Are there any gotchas I need to be aware of?

What EXACTLY is the process? Do I quite the server manager, uninstall MSDE and then install SQL Server 2000? Are there any clear install guides out there that people can suggest?

TIA

:-)
