Are we going to be able to upgrade our MSDE installations to SQL Server Express? If so, some step-by-step instructions will be highly beneficial, since I don't think it's going to be as simple as installing using the default instance.

I have done it using the default instance...somewhere it tells you instances it can upgrade, and I've done so without drama. I did some testing beforehand, and found that the uninstall for Express worked quite well - it put me back to the old version of SQL.

Thanks... very encouraging news. I'll try it on my test system first to see how it goes.

Hey Bud make sure you restart PC after install to see if it is going to work. I tried that and some of the SQL based programs on my machine quit. ( it took 3 days to get it back).
Bud,
In about a week, RMS will officially support SQL 2005!
