Attach database problem

Hi Folks
I am a newbie trying to attach an MSDE dbf from a whatever.mdf and
whatever.ldf files. I keep getting an error that I can't attach the database
to the same name as an existing database.
Any help would be appreciated?
Danny
Hello,
Looks like the database name you specify in the atatch database is already
in the same server instance. Execute SP_HELPDB and make sure that
the database you specy is already not there.
Thanks
Hari

ASP.NET 1.1 connecting to DBF

Hi all,
My problem is :
I have ASP.NET 1.1 app that must connect to existing DBF data files.
I tried to do this with existing ODBC for DBF but I have following problem :
Either if DBF file had appropriate index NTX file, the unknown exception
occured or if index didn't exist than the query seems to return result
without WHERE clause which unfortunately exists.
I fount 3-rd party drivers (Data Direct) but the price (4000$) per processor
is very expensive for me.
Did anyone have similar problem and how he solved it?
Does exist cheaper solution?
Toni
Hi Toni,
Which "ODBC for DBF" are you using? FoxPro files are DBFs but there are
other DBF files that aren't in the exact same format, and your mention of
NTX index files makes me think yours are not FoxPro files (they have CDX
indexes). There is a FoxPro and Visual FoxPro ODBC driver, but I don't think
it will read DBFs that have NTX indexes correctly.
