[AccessD] OT: MSDE on Window XP (solved)

 I have MSDE SQL 2000 on Win XP

With versions of SQL Server prior to 2000 (including MSDE) you can only 
have a single instance installed. You could however, upgrade from MSDE 
to Server or Enterprise or some other edition.
MSDE is in all repsects SQL Server.  You could down load  MSDE 2000 and 
install that
to different directory and say no to upgrade. I don't know what this 
will do to your old SQL Tools
though.
