I am using SQL Server 2005 with SQL Server Mgmt Studio. I would like to be
able to connect to a SQL Server Express database within the SSMS. I read on
MS's website that this was possible, but can't figure out how to do it. Is
it possible?

Thanks.

Yes. You may need to enable remote access if you are connecting from
another box and you will probably have to specify the instance name in the
SERVER connection Window in SSMS.
