Thanks for the reply Mike,

Answers below:

2.. The information I quote comes from the following MS link
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/wss/2/all/adminguide/en-us/stsf20.mspx

I did install using the remotesql=yes switch (mentioned earlier in the full
doc above)

3. I removed the MSDE and Sharepoint using Add remove programs before
installing in again using the remotesql=yes switch

4,. Again I am just quoting information I have read on the MS site

I will check out the information you have pointed me to.

BTW I changed the authentication to mixed (SQL\Windows) and used the SA
login and this worked but I would like to use the windows authentication

Thanks Again Mike
