I am very new in using sql server 2000. I just finished installing sql server 2000 in windows xp. I only installed client tools. May I ask how to set up ODBC connecting only to a local host ? Also, what other things should I consider before my works?
Thanks in advance.

Having installed only the client tools ??
Did you already have a sqlinstance on your pc ?
Having only the client tools, just provide e.g. enterprise manager to be able to connect (and manage if authorized) to a sqlinstance.
Did you intend to have a local sqlinstance to host some databases locally ?
If yes, you should have gone for a personal edition or a developer edition.
You could also install a msde edition, but that one has some limitations.

You don't necessarily need an ODBC setup. You connect from the tools like EM/QA with either the host name, or "(local)"
