Connect to a remote SQL Express server using SQL Management Studio Express
The following article explains how to use SQL Management Studio Express to connect to a SQL Express database. Through SQL Management Studio Express, the customer can manage the information in their database directly from their local machine rather than having to connect to their VPS server. If you do not have a copy of Management Studio you can obtain a copy from Microsoft by clicking http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=C243A5AE-4BD1-4E3D-94B8-5A0F62BF7796&DisplayLang=en (select SQLServer2005_SSMSEE.msi).
