I am using a stand alone desktop for developing and testing apps. I am
wondering if I can install the full sql svr 2005 developer edition on this
desktop and use it like I would use sql svr express. Is that possible or can
I only use sql svr express on a stand alone desktop, meaning the full sql svr
2005 developer edition needs to be installed on a separate server? Thank you
for any help.

Hello BruceL,

Which OS version is installed on the machine you are using?

See here the requirements:

I am using windows 7 home premium.

Actually, I have already installed sql svr 2005 dev edition on the stand
alone desktop and it installed OK. I attached a database to it and created a
system DSN that says it connected OK but when I test one of my apps it has an
opening message that there was an error connecting to the server DB. This
error message is one my app generates by trynig to open a table on the server
and if it cannot then I list the message to the user.

When running this app in the past on my separate server(XP and svr 2003)
from another desktop(using XP), I also map the network drive, but on this
current stand alone situation I cannot map the network drive because it
doesn't include drive C as a drive in the map drive dropdown list?

Do I need to do something different to get sql svr 2005 dev edition to
connect correctly with my app because the Map Netork Drive doesn't include
drice C, where all my file are located? thanks for your response.
