Rules of thumb

[Tony Toews [MVP]]

Are you thinking in terms of Access 2000-era MSDN? We've been well
past that stage for almost half a decade!

Almost half a decade implies 4 years. This is, umm, let me count on
my fingers, about 9 years past 2000. <smile>

No, what I meant was that MSDE was replaced by SQL Server Express.
So far as I can tell, the first version of that was 2005, so,
"almost half a decade".

And, BTW, I set up a Blackberry Enterprise Server in late 2004, and
the only small-scale, free version of SQL Server at the time was
MSDE, so my previous post about SQL Server Express 2005 being the
replacement for it seems to be correct.

Darn, here I thought I could tease you a bit and you come back with a
perfectly reasonable explanation. <smile>

Every word that I ever post is VERY CAREFULLY CHOSEN.

You should study them all very carefully.
