Yes, developing on express should be fine locally but trying to copy data may be a bit of a pain if you're using studio express as there's no tools for doing data transformations in the express version. However, I think you can buy a developer copy of sql server 2005 for something like $40 (I was just reminded of this today). Allen

Is this a good (cheap) solution for a development platform if the live platform will have SQL Server 2005? Will a database developed with SQL Server Express port over well and is the Interface for SQL Server Express similar to Enterprise Manager?
