You could do that, but not with SQL Server Developer Edition, which is simply a variation on the regular SQL Server product with a limited license for development use only. There's nothing in it that you could redistribute, in any case. If you want to build applications in, say, Visual Basic or VC++, that are local desktop-database interfaces, you can redistribute the Access runtime or MSDE with your applications - that's what they're for. You could develop your application against SQL Server Developer Edition, then distribute it with MSDE, for example.

RE: SQL Server 2000 desktop version.
OK, so it looks like for what I need (a SQL server on my local development machine -- my 120 eval is about to expire, and I've really started to dig SQL Server), I need the developers edition. This costs $500. With this, I could, if I wanted -- in addition to my usual CF-based development -- create distributable applications? Like let's say I have a client -- ok, I do have such a client -- who doesn't want to access the Internet for inventory updates, but wants to do it off line. Could I create a run-time application that I could install on his Win98 machine with nothing else to install (such as his own copy of Access or SQL Server)?

Dave Watts of figleaf was correct in two things.
