[dba-SQLServer] [AccessD] SQL Server 2005 Embedded Edition

Hi all

I located this page:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc794697(v=WS.10).aspx

and the answer to my question seems to be a no-no.

Would I be better off by just installing an instance of SQL Server 2008 Express? This, I guess, can't disturb the 2005 instances.

Any traps here? The server is not very busy.

Hi all

A client runs a Small Business 2008 server.
I need to establish a tiny SQL database which her Access application can attach via ODBC.

But can I use the "SQL Server 2005 Embedded Edition" that is running on the server? 
It has two instances running, SBSMONITORING and Microsoft##SSEE. Can I safely create a new database in either of these?

I have full admin rights to the server.
