Re: SQL Server Personal Edition

Dear Geoff:

Did you ever receive a clear reply about this? I am running into exactly the
same issue: Does the MS SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition that is included on
the Small Business Server 2000 Premium edition include MS SQL Server Personal
Edition?

This is a "yes/no" question, and I understand why you kept asking (the
responders never said "yes" or "no").

Thanks,

Mark
