Making an MSDE DB with Access

Hi
I'm trying to create an MSDE database, and I don't have SQL Server
installed. Do i need to have SQL Server installed to create and run the MSDE
database? I thought the whole idea of MSDE was so you don't need SQL server
to create it or run, while only being limited to DB size and limited
concurrent use.
Can anyone shed light on the situation. I seem to be going round and round
in circles regarding this issue on the Microsoft website.
Thanks
Taniel
Simply put MSDE is a scaled down version of SQL Server. There is a size
limit to the MSDE database size and some of the high end features of SQL
Server are not available to the MSDE users. Other than that MSDE users have
all the functionality of SQL Server at their disposal.
If you have MSDE up and running you do not need SQL Server unless you want
to use restricted high end features.
