    Yes you can use any type of database with the express editions, the only thing is that you have to do it manually through code as none of the wizards will pick them up.

    So we can't use the wizard to connect to an MSDE databse on VB 2005 express as it is the case to connect to an SQL 2005 express database

    Then we have to maunally code it as in Dim cn as conection etc....

    is it that case
