To answer Kurt's questions... One of our companies is a M$ Partner and I used to get free licensing.
Now the freebies are being cut back and I have to ante up for extra client access licenses. 38 Users will cost me ~ $12,000. We have used Exchange and SQL because it didn't really cost. Now that it does, I am looking for alternatives. Our use of SQL server is very basic with 35 users accessing three or four small in house programs. I believe that these programs could be moved fairly easily.

I need a bit more data before I can make a recommendation. How many users? What kind of transaction level for SQL server? For what are you using SQL Server? Any existing code that takes advantage of SQL extensions? Etcetera.
