Will sql express 2005 and Studio 2003 (.net 1.1) work together? I can
not find a definitive statement on the Microsoft site and need to
change a 1.1 app and wish to use the newer 2005 express.

I know that I will need to load both the 1.1 and 2.x framework on the
system, but this is not a big issue at this point.

Thanks

Yes they will. You won't be able to use the new features, but restricted to
a .NET 1.1 featureset, they will work together.

Why will you need to load both frameworks?? Does SQL Express need the
framework to run on a machine??

As far as I can tell from the doc., you need the 2.x framework to run
Express.
