Hi:

I'm trying to take the existing database and copy it to another location and then rename some to the stored procedures to my own, just the "tbh" to my own three letter extension, "wfm" whereever it appears. I want to eventually add a table as well. I had moved a copy of the database to a new folder.

I tried opening the database with Sql server mgnt. studio and get the error message:

" There is no editor available for 'c:\a copy of database\ASPNETDB.MDF'. Make sure the application for the file type (.MDF) is installed. "


I then opened Sql Server management studio and tried to "attach" to that new location. But I get an error message :

======= the error message:

"An error occurred when attaching the database. Click the hyperlink in the Message column for details." (I click ok, then click on the hyperlink which states):

"Attach database failed for Server "my server's name"\SQLEXPRESS. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)"

"Additional Information:Cannot attach a database with the same name as an existing database. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)"

=== end of error message

I'm not sure what to do. Should I change the name of the database? I'm afraid if I do, it won't work properly in my program. How do I make a new copy of the database??

This is resolved...
