MSDE is a version of MSSQL, so you should simply be able to transfer your
database to your MSSQL server using backup/restore, detach/attach, copy
database wizard etc. If you do backup/restore or attach/detach, you may need
to recreate logins on the MSSQL server; the copy database wizard should do
that for you.

Rightly or wrongly, here's what I do. Each step requires Enterprise Manager,
so you can't do it with that program installed:

1) Make a backup of the MSDE version.

2) Create a like-named empty database on the server you want to move to.

3) Do a "Restore from device" to restore the backup from MSDE over top of the
like-named empty database.

4) Create like-named logins on the new server.

5) Delete old logins from the restored version.

6) Add the like-named logins in their place.


There's also probably something to do with groups too - but in my little apps,
everything is done around the "public" group or trusted security.

I have tried using the Copy Database Wizard in Enterprise Manager
to copy a database from one computer to another, but never succeeded.
It just hang over there without doing anything. Can anyone tell me
