| Can I link SQL Server Express to an enterprise version of SQL Server. I just want a client machine to link to the server and run some queries etc. Can this be done with SQL Express?Dallr |

| Thanks RickD, Now just to get this straight. I install SQL Server Express on my machine and log onto the Enterprise server and from there create the link to the express version. In this way from the Express version I can see all the data in the Enterprise?Thanks in advance.Dallr |

| No, set this up on SQL Server Express. Not on the enterprise version. |
