Hi Kim, Thanks for your nice response.
I am still struggling with my problem of Add Spatial Database Connection to MS SQL Server 2008 Management Studio. My PC has Microsoft Windows XP Pro that is linked to Microsoft NT4 LAN System. My MS SQL Server 2008 Management Studio (SQL Server 2008 Express) is installed in my PC. I think that Personal ArcSDE can be done in Windows 7, not in Microsoft Windows XP Pro - Am I right in this guessing?
I do not want ArcGIS Server Workgroup in my ArcSDE support for my SQL Server 2008 Express. Is it possible to make a direct connection to a geodatabase in my MS SQL Server 2008 Management Studio (SQL Server 2008 Express) from my ArcGIS Catalog 10? If it is possible, please tell me how to make such direct connection.
Please help and respond.
Thanks,
Scott Chang

Hi, I want to ask something about turned to me crazy. I have a sptial database (XYZ) on SQLServer 2008 R2. I can connect to it (XYZ) using arccatalog, but when I created different database (KLM) and tried to connect it (KLM) via ArcCatalog it connects to older (XYZ) database :S I didn't figure out why it doesnt't connect my new database (KLM). Does anyone know anything about that problem?

This is a known issue; ArcCatalog is hanging on to the old connection information. If you close ArcCatalog and re-open it, you should be able to make a connection to the new geodatabase. I'll try to dig up the bug number.
