attach database option disabled

Hi,
I am trying to attach a database via enterprise manager
but the option to this is disabled. Is there anyway I can
enable this option?
Thanks in advance
JenCIs the server you're connected to using SQL Server 7? If so, then no, you
cannot enable it. However, you can do the attach via Query Analyzer using
sp_attach_db (look up syntax in BOL).

Do you want to post your error and some more information about the
problem? How was the database detached?|||Hi,
I have sorted it out now (touch wood). Basically we have a
setup program that as part of the install installs MSDE
2000, unfortunately on some PC's (mainly Win XP PCs) it
installs the earlier version of MSDE and this is what
caused the confusion. I have now successfully installed
MSDE 2000 and I can now attach databases to my hearts
content.
Thanks for your help.
