2nd Instance of MS SQL? -- visual studio .net general

When Office2003 Beta Installed, it created a new instance
of MS SQL server that AutoStarts during boot.. Why didn't
the Business Contact Manager install under the same
instance of MS SQL used for Visual Studio? Can it be
done this way to conserve resources? In my simple
understanding it seems that I have to load SQL twice when
I think once would do.... Any help would be greatly
appreciated..Thanks....Rick Humphrey

BCM can use any MS SQL, I think, but by default it installs its own MSDE.

But this is an office2003 question, not a VS question. Can you try the
office newsgroup?

sorry not much help,
