| I'm trying to deploy an Access database which has a SQL Server Express backend. Is it possible to copy a SQL Server database to a computer that does not have SQL Server installed on it? The database would reside on a network drive. |

| No - SQL Server (all editions) is server based. You should install SQL Server Express on a server and setup the connection string to reference that server. Then, your access database front end can reside anywhere and link to the tables on the server. |

Where do you copy a SQL Server database to?
