I have had Navision 4.0 SP3 native database installed on Server 2003 for a few years and now have a problem with a TIME CLOCK application that uses MSDE (Microsoft SQL Server 2000) located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\

Is it safe to uninstall/reinstall it without affecting my NAV 4.0 SP3 native database? I believe the two are unrelated but want to make sure. Now that I think about it, I periodically take a backup of the native database and restore it to a TESTING server and have no problems with it and I didn't do anything special or related to MSDE so I guess it's okay to trash MSDE, just want to confirm this for sure?

Thanks.
Half-empy or half-full how do you view your database?

Thanks.

    yes it is safe to remove msde server.
    I've seen many installation where the person didn't know what they were doing and install both native and sql server.
