                                            | What if:I get to a customers site to install my application that requires MSDE 2000 and the only available pc/server to install MSDE2000 already has a previous version of MSDE.Can I install MSDE 2000 on the same machine (as a named instance) or will this cause problems?thanksJon |  |

                                          | but what about if there are different VERSIONS of MSDE on the same pc. Will that cause problems?Can MSDE2000 exist on the same pc as SQL 2005 for example? |
