Attach Db With Same Files As Existing Db

In SQL Server 2000, I would like to attach a Database that is the file of the Database on another system. I made a copy of my Client's Database at his site. Now I would like to attach it to my server and then copy the data from my Client's DB to mine.

The only problem is they have the same file names, so when I try to attach the copy I get an error message. Is there any way to change the name of the data file and log file that a database points to so that I can attach it to my Server?

Thanks in advance for your help!Look up RESTORE DATABASE in Books Online. You need to use the WITH MOVE option.

RESTORE DATABASE database
WITH
MOVE 'logical data file' TO 'somenewfile.mdf',
MOVE 'logical log file' TO 'somenewfile.ldf'

You can find the name of the files by using: RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK = 'file.bak'
