Upgrading MSDE(2000) to SQL 2005 Standard

    Does anyone know of a resource that describes the steps to upgrade an instance of MSDE(2000) to SQL 2005 Standard?

    We found something on a MS site that indirectly indicated you could upgrade the MSDE to SQL Express and then upgrade Express to the full version of 2005, but that method created quite a bit of problems, which we were able to resolve, but I have to believe there may be a cleaner way.

    Thanks! Bob McEuen

    I'm not sure this is a supported upgrade. It may be, but you should be able to install ss2k5 and then attach or restore your databases on the new instance. Woudl that work?
