Hi Kevin,

You are "right on" with your understanding of my problem. Your answer
reminded me to always look in the MSDN library. I am going to download the
SQL Server 2000 book. I need to know more about this product. However,
MSDE is missing a key component of SQL Server, Query Analyzer. This is my
basic tool for database creation and probing existing databases. I have
discovered the command line program OSQL. After a little hunting I did find
some documentation about OSQL. The best way to probe MSDE databases I have
found so far is to create an Access Project and investigate the components
of the sample database.

Thanks for your help,

Bob
