It's missing some features, like the ability to copy a database, but you can download it at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=C243A5AE-4BD1-4E3D-94B8-5A0F62BF7796&displaylang=en . I have quite a few clients who use SQL Server Express and as long as your database can run on 1 CPU, in < 1GB of RAM and is < 4GB in size it works great. For most intranet sites, these wouldn't be practical limitations. - Andrew. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:334171 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Without knowing any more than you've mentioned, I think you'd be fine with Express as long as you conform to whatever its license limitations happen to be. It doesn't come with a management console, but if you don't need that you should be just fine.
