[Odyssey-L] Your thoughts on Standalone

[Kevin Hatfield]

   Thanks for the response. It is a standalone computer, XP Service Pack 3 
with all of the Microsoft updates. There is a newer SQL engine that Microsoft 
wants one to use, one that is more recent: studio-express product. I couldn't 
ever get Odyssey to connect to it, only the smaller, older MSSQL engine that 
comes with it. Perhaps something Odyssey needs was damaged in installing it. 
I haven't tried installing from a 'fresh' copy of Windows.
