MSDE Newbie

Are there any good online resources for learning how to use MSDE?
I've been using MS-Access for years via ADO but want to try MSDE.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
..
I suggest you

1> Read about SQL Server from booksonline or some decent book

efer to MSDE all the time (but is for VB.Net..)..
I would also suggest that you go thru this newsgroups' posting from past few months.. don't worry, it is not boring and too lengthy.. it's a good read. You will know what problems other people are having and how to tackle them and you will become familia
r with the MSDE world..
And then there are MS KB articles for many issues related to MSDE..
hope it helps..

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll check them out. However, I was hoping for
some site suggestions along the lines of "w3schools" or "devguru"; that is,
more of an introduction to MSDE and not the full blown Microsoft approach.
