Hello all,

I am following along here in the book ASP.NET website programming and I 
have decided to install the dtabase to compliment the books examples. I 
have come across an issue w/ restoring the database using the backup 
provided in the download. The restore never completes (it never even 
starts).

I am using sql 7.0 so that may be the problem but how do I go about 
correcting this?? Anyone have any ideas

Thanks in advance for any help

Jay

The trick on doing a restore in SQL 7.0 and SQL 2000 is that you have to
specify exactly where the new database is going to go. Once you have
selected which backup file you are going to restore, you go to the second
tab. It has the location of the Database and Log files, which will be the
same location as the database that was backed up. Change these to the
location where the new database is, and click on the force into new database
option. That should then work.

Regards
Robert
