Jet or MSDE

NB
Hi

I have been developing on MS Access / Jet / VBA platform for about 2
years.
The current project I am working on for a small business is built on
Access 2002. It has about 53 tables in 2 backend MDB files, 125
queries, 109 forms & subforms, 43 reports & subreports, 20 code
modules and some macros.

The size of the backend is now at a modest size of about 4MB (down
from an original size of 270MB when the previous folk kept images
inside it). But it's growing, though I predict not at a very high
speed.

The backend files are hosted on a Win 2000 PC running Access 2002.
Current number of users is 6. The app has appeared robust up to now.

I heard about the MSDE engine. Can someone give me some pointer if I
should consider using it instead of the Jet engine that comes default
with Access?
BTW the code in my app uses mainly DAO library.

Thanks
NB

What does it do then?


On this side of the pond it puts the results into an array.


Sorry, I mis-spoke. I have not used Split(), just looked at it,
because I'm too wedded to coding for my own version of it written
before VBA had such a function.

The results are stored as a one dimensional array. I have no idea
what Fenton is talking about.
Split() doesn't put the results in an array.


What does it do then?

I want to move my Access 2K database into MSDE. The Access Upsizing Wizard crashes (a known bug wi A2K), so I'm using the following suggested method: Access --> New --> Project (Existing Database) This asks for the name of the .adp file to create and then launches into the Data Link Properties dialog box (so far so good) I select my MSDE server from the drop-down, enter the sa account & passwd, attach a database file and try to...

I'm looking for a simple way of telling (inside a stored procedure) if I'm currently using MSDE or a full SQL server. Ideally, there is some pre-defined environment variable that won't cause me too much overhead. The reason I'm doing this is because my system "rolls over" databases when it reaches the 2Gb limit with MSDE, but obviously I want to avoid this overhead if the user installs onto a full SQL server instance. Thanks

Hi I want to package my C# winforms app, to be deployed with MSDE, as easily as possible for the end user. I want to create an MSI or Installshield (prefer MSI), to setup my C# app, together with MSDE (if not already installed), and the MSDE application DB. How can I detect if MSDE is already installed?? Has anyone does this?? How??
