BADNUG Meeting April 28, Not April 4
Doh! The latest MSDN Flash has our meeting date incorrect. The real meeting date is April 28, 6:00 pm, not April 4.
The Tool of the Month ("Use One, Don't Be One") is the SQL Server Web Admin, presented by Brad West from Spang & Co. We know better than to empower just anyone with Enterprise Manager ("Enterprise Damager" as our network admin lovingly calls it), but some users can be trusted to access their databases. The SQL Web Admin is a decent compromise, allowing a great deal of management in a web-based tool. The Web Admin can be installed on any computer that runs IIS, or it can use the Cassini server for machines like XP Home that don't have IIS.
Eric Kepes will present on SQL Server 2005 Express. We all have some of those Access databases floating around out there, doing things we'd rather not think about. Bloated and underpowerd, but somehow essential. SSE may cure these ills. With its built in management and reporting tools, as well as a 'real' database engine, this version may be an Access project killer. We can all hope so, anyway. Join us as Eric demonstrates some of the features that will make our lives a little better.
