SQL Server - repost

[Smirnoff]

Have set up Business Contact Manager (Office 2003) and was asked if I wanted
to be connected to SQL Server, clicked yes.
It now appears in my taskbar but I have no idea how to use it.
I don't know how to set it up, whether you have to pay for it, how to synch
it to a database etc.
Have looked for help on the subject but am none the wiser.
Could somebody please explain (in layman's terms) exactly what's involved?

SQL Server 2005 Express Edition is a free download.

If you need the SQL Server 2000 family instead then look for MSDE
(also free).

Thanks for your reply.
I'm sorry that I'm so ignorant on this subject.
Just checked again and what is appearing in my taskbar is SQL Service
Service Manager.
It has two fields, Service and Services, what address/name do I need to
insert to access?

You shouldn't have to do anything, as it will be working locally
(localhost).

Test it out by creating an ODBC data-source to your local machine,
specifiying SQL Server as the technology.

You don't use the SQL Server portion of the program directly. It is a type
of link, in layman's terms, that the program uses to organize the data. It
should just sit there.
