I have downloaded MS Web Data Administrator to conenct to my MSDE
database. It hangs when i login using "SQL Login"
When i open up Web Data Administrator, it defaults to Port 80 and
Cassini Personal Web Server (the "IIS" button has been disabled).

Could anyone tell me what the differences are in the MSDE2000A.exe and
FRN_MSDE2000A.exe or any other language for that matter?
Thanks,

I have found a problem when linking a SQL Server 2000 table that contains an
auto incrementing integer into Access 2002 via ODBC. Access identifies this
field correctly as an "autonumber" field. However, when I add a record to the
table, I get an ODBC error that mentions a "Cast" ...

I'm trying to install MSDE with the following command line:
c:\temp\setup.exe sapwd="password"
Password has 12 mixed special characters, upper and lower case letters and
numbers, so I guess it is a strong SA password.

I'm using the Microsoft Web Data Administrator (WDA) to access MSDE.
I've created a table and inserted values into it. When I click on my
table with inserted values in WDA, I can see details on the attributes
of each column, but not the values.

Need an affordable solution to compare two databases or
check the database change released.
Thanks.

I have installed VB.Net on my PC, I am a single user with XP Home Ed.. I am

Are there any difference between upgrading from SQL Server 6.5 to MSDE 2000
and SQL Server 6.5 to SQL Server 2000? Is there any special instruction to
upgrade from SQL Server 6.5 to MSDE 2000 comparing to from SQL Server 7?
Thanks.

I'm baffled at the following MSDE connectivity problem:
After installing MSDE 2000 SP3a (and hotfix 8.00.0818-enu) on a workstation
(XP, SP2), I get the following error when trying to connect to the database
using OSQL:

I know I probably shouldn't be doing this but...
I have a table on an MSDE database that has a bigInt for the primary key. If
I try to link to this table from Access (XP) using an ODBC connection the
table links ok. The first time I opened the table it was ok. Since then the

I've read A LOT of posts concerning connection problems with the
various versions of MSDE and Windows XP
I'm using the one packaged as MSDE2000a.exe which has a new EULA text
but other than that it is MSDE 2000 with sp3a already applied.

Hi,
anyone can tell me if whith Msde 2000a (Sp3a) or with Sp4 the full text
search service is supported?
Thanks in advance.
