Hi everyone,
I've just installed my new sql express server. I've been working until now on a SQL SERVER 2000 and first thing i'd like to do, having installed the SQL EXPRESS is connecting to my old SQL 2000 databases using SQL EXPRESS.
Can anyone tell me how to do it ?
Thanks

Go into management studio and register the 2000 server.

You may want to check that remote connections are turned on in your surface area configuration first though.
