MSDE and SQL 2005 db?

[senna4ever]

Does anyone know if an existing SQL 2005 box can also host a MSDE db if the
comm ports are different ?

Thanks in advance!!

SQL Server 2005 can manage an MSDE database (and COMM ports are not involved
at all in the game :) ).. as soon as you attach an MSDE database to a SQL
Server 2005 instance the database will be upgraded in the metadata and can
no be longer ne managed by MSDE any more.. it's a one way ticket..
