Does this mean that I can't have SQL 7 and SQL server express installed on the same box? Or just that they can't run simultaneously?

Additionally, it appears that SQL 2000 is the oldest supported revision even though when using the gridview wizard to add a data connection sql 7 is listed as being supported - correct?

Due to my kit limitations I don't have access to a box running SQL 7 that will take an install of SQL Server Express.

As a work-a-round to VWD express not talking to SQL 7 (at least in my case) I've installed MSDE 2000 on an NT server on my network and VWD express talks to that with no problems.
