Hello, We will be receiving a full backup of a SQL Server 2005 Standard database via a BAK file. It would be so much easier to deal with the database at our end if we could restore this backup into a clean SQL Server 2005 Express instance. We simply need to do some data extraction and analysis once we have a working copy of the database on our system. Has anyone tried this and were there any problems encountered? Thanks in advance for any assistance/recommendations that might be made.

Only issue I can this of is the database size. Express has a max size of 4Gb. See MSDN for other limitations... Thanks for the confirmation Jonlee. The size of the database won't be an issue (1.7GB), I was just somewhat concerned that the different SQL Server editions might cause problems.
