    Hi all. I wonder if you could help me out.

    I just need clarification that SQL Express will happily run on a windows 7 box with 6 users?

    Is there a need to have server software.

    The people on mind do not need any real bells and whistles which Standard would give them

    Thanks in advance Scott

    yes SQL Express will run on Windows 7 no problem.

    Express, by default, does not set itself up for remote connectionsso users can't access it from other machines immediately... so you need to make sure you specifically change that setting, and you are good to go(Assuming SQL 2008, it's right click on server...Facets...change drop down to "Server Configuration"... toggle "RemoteAccessEnabled" from false to true.
