Attach norecovery database

Is there a way to attach a database to norecovery mode? We have a 2nd site
where the target database is in norecovery mode for continuous log files.
If we detach the database while it is in norecovery mode, could we attach
the database back in norecovery mode. I tried it and it turned into
recovery mode with few transactions rollback while detach. Thanks!
When you detach a db it rolls back any open trans so the answer is no. You
can attach it but it it will already have been put into recovery.
