"Local SQL Server" is what CRD calls MSDE. It is a cut down form of SQL server, not the full blown thing.

As you have a "proper" sql server and not MSDE you will need to use the other option.

You can install MSDE on a machine which has a SQL server and use that if you wish too. Then you can connect to "local SQL server".

Ah, thanks for the info . That helps. I will go ahead with the other option.

Quick Response too!!

Thanks
