Never heard of MSDE (SQL2005Express)?
OTH, if you only have 750 records (each record is not too big), you can use
XML file as physical storage and read all data in XML file into DataSet and
have the DataSet stay in momery when the Windows app is running. Nowadays, a
desktop computer with a lot memory is very common. A few MB data stays in
memory should not be a big deal.
