Hi Michael

You can either:
1. Use DTS to transfer your DB with all the objects and data to MSDE
2. Script your DB on Std Ed and the run the script on MSDE using osql

You can also install Client Tools on the computer running MSDE and use Query
Analyzer to run the script mentioned in #2.

Forgot to mention: using method 2, data will not be transferred.

As I responded to another similar post, another way came up: backup the
database and then restore it on MSDE. You will either need Client Tools on
the MSDE computer or to add MSDE to the Enterprise Manager on the computer
running SQL Std Ed.
