I found the following script online and was able attach the Db using it. I think it's essentially the same thing as yours:<br />
&quot;c:\program files\microsoft sql server\90\tools\binn\sqlcm<wbr />d.exe&quot; -b -E -S .\MSSMLBIZ -Q &quot;EXEC sp_attach_db @dbname = 'Master1', @filename1 = '%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\<wbr />Business Contact Manager\Master1.mdf', @filename2 = '%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\<wbr />Business Contact Manager\Master1.ldf';&quot;&gt;&gt;&quot;%<wbr />LOCALAPPDA<wbr />TA%\Micros<wbr />oft\Busine<wbr />ss Contact Manager\Master1_RestoreRes<wbr />ult.txt&quot;<br />

In order to fix a broken installation of Business Contact Manager 2003, running on XP, I had to copy the MDF and LDF files to another location on the same machine and reinstall BCM. I also installed SQL Studio 2005. When I tried to attach the data to the new database, I get the error msg &quot;Cannot &nbsp;Attach to a database with the same name&quot;. I tried renaming the MDF and LDF files by adding a 1 to the names. That didn't work. I then tried renaming the instance of the Database in Studio and that didn't work. So what can I do to get around this issue? Thanks any and all help.

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.

Databases

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
