MSDE

[deb]

I installed MSDE and I am getting the message "The
specified service does not exist as an installed
service." What does this mean and how do I fix it? I'm
trying to convert my backend Access database to SQL Server
2000 and someone suggested that I install MSDE and begin
using it while I'm waiting on SQL Server to be installed.
Once I fix the problem above, how will I see the MSDE is
installed? How do you work with the tables on MSDE?

Uninstall MSDE and get the Developer edition of SQLS for $49. MSDE is
a crappy development environment because it doesn't come with the
client tools like Profiler, Enterprise Manager, and QA. Use MSDE for
deployment, not development.
