MSDE DB into Express

  • What is the best way to bring a database from msde2000 into sql express?

    I have tried various things, but no avail, eg putting the mdf and ldf files onto the new server with express installed then try and "attach" them, but i get an error saying the two files are read only or have read only files?

     

    Any help would be very much appreciated....

  • When you check the file properties on said mdf and ldf files, are they marked read-only?

  • No, thats whats strange...

  • Found the problem...

    I was logged onto sql express with sql authentication - logging onto it with windows authentication solved the problem...

    Thanks...
