you can install SQL Server 7.0 and MSDE 2000 on the same pc... the SQL
Server 7.0 server will be the default instance as the 7.0 version had no
concept of named instances, where the MSDE 2000 instance will be a named
instance..
just a caveat... MSDE 2000 will install MDAC 2.6 at least (sp4 installs 2.8
sp1) and all COM objects like SQL-DMO, SQL-NS ant the like will be upgraded
at 2000 version, where the client tools like Enterprise Manager, Query
Analyzer, Profiler and so on will remain at 7.0 level as MSDE does not
provide them...
hope EM will still work...
