Great Product; Difficult Install

SQL Server 2008 is an excellent product but the install can be a bit tricky. A word of advise: Before attempting the install, download and apply all Microsoft updates to other products installed on your PC, especially Visual Studio. I have Visual Studio 2008 and 2010 and the install would not let me continue until I upgraded 2008 to SP2. I also had to upgrade my HP netbook to Windows 7 Home Edition from the Starter Edition, but now it runs great.

Great Tool for Database Developers

It took a while to get this product successfully installed on my PC but some of the issues related to Windows 7 security and permissions and not to the product itself. It is a complex product to install so allow some quality time for this effort.
Once installed, we were able to migrate several of my forms-based applications from SQL-Server 2000 to SQL-Server 2008. We were also able to upsize a new prototype app from Access-2003 to SQL-Server 2008. It worked great right out of the box. The only conversion issue we found was that checkboxes didn't convert correctly. We had to manually update each of these in the tables and also re-add the checkbox data elements to the forms. I am certain there was some option that we failed to select while we were creating the migration procedure.
This is a great developer's tool and cost under $50 so price is certainly not an issue.

Wow! This is the real thing and for a fraction of the cost of Enterprise it does everything. My son was able to do all the labs from the Joes 2 Pros books with this software and we did not have to suffer with the express version.
