Hello,

When using SQL 2008 can I create a compatible SQL 2005 Express database and access it using VS 2008?

Thanks,
Miguel

Compatible ? Yes.

But bear in mind, express hasnt got things like jobs, SSIS etc

With visual studio yes. Visusal studio has an interface to let u work directly with your table in its own environment.

With express, you can even create your db without using MS SQL management studio and save your .mdf files in your app_data folder
