Question : SBS 2003 - SQL Express 2005 - Presenting Error 17137 approx every second

A couple off weeks ago a third party installed some property management software on one of the SBS 2003 Servers we manage. As part of the installation a Instance of MS SQL Express 2005 was installed called CONSOLE. The application installed is working fine.

I am now seeing that the application Log is getting flooded with MSSQL$CONSOLE - Events 17137 approx every second and every also MSSQL$CONSOLE - Event 2803 every so often. which is a real pain as it is filling the application log up to a point where I can see no other events !

I have done some research on SQL Express error 17137 and seems to be related to the data base being reopened every second or so and the general advice seems to be to execute the below command via SQL Server Management Studio Express which we do have on the server as it is also running another MSSQL Express Instance for BES

ALTER DATABASE <Database Name> SET AUTO_CLOSE OFF

How would I exactly run the command above in SQL Server Management Studio Express against database "sample" assuming I am correct in my research.

Thanks for your help
