MS SQL and MSDE

I need to develope a c++ application that connects to a MS SQL 2000 server,
soon to be 2005, via OBDC. I want to develope the app on my workstation
which rarely connects to the server. Can I use MSDE as a development engine
and all the ODBC will be the same for the SQL server?
TomHi Tom.
I think yes, of course. I use the same driver for MSDE and SqlExpress. The
only difference is the location of the d.b. and of the server.
