Converting MDF files (SQL Server Express) to SQL Server 2005 WITHOUT having to buy SQL Server 2005 (I have Express). Personal WebSite Starter Kit
Hi (and HELP!),
I downloaded the Personal WebSite Starter Kit and got it working no problem on my local machine. But I've had nothing but frustration trying to get it up and running on a webhosting site. I picked hostmysite.com which uses SQL Server 2005. I was under the impression that it wouldn't be that big a deal to convert the .MDF files that Sql Server Express uses to a SQL Server 2005 database. I tried using SQL Server Management Studio Express. I was able to "see" my remote database on hostmysite.com, but I was not able to import the .mdf files ...

Connecting to .MDF file without SQL Server?
I'm currently using an Access database for the ASP.NET 2.0 website I'm developing. My hosting provider runs Windows Server 2003 with the .NET 2.0 framework, but NOT SQL Server or SQL Server Express.
Is it still possible to use .MDF files (like .MDB files)?
Maybe it's a stupid question, but can't find a definitive answer in any books.
Thanks.
Hi,
Which SQL Server version you are using? 2000 or 2005? If using 2000, you can use MSDE, for 2005 you need to install Express Edition 2005 on the server. Check this link:
