Hi Lester,
I really appreciate your help, the code is good and does not show any errors on compilation. The problem is I am new to this field and I am unable to execute it, it would be great if you can list me the steps to execute it, I need to check the code on one particular database called 'Import', could you please list me the steps.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Mark

All you have to do is to supply the necessary informations in this part of the scipt
--Set Values to the variables
SET @newpath_mdf = 'C:\put path here)\' --new path wherein you will put the mdf
SET @newpath_ldf = 'D:\put path here\' --new path wherein you will put the ldf
SET @path = 'D:\put path here\' --Path of the Backup File
In the text tab you will see the generated script for restoring your database. If the generated script is correct (meaning the values you input are correctly generated in the script), uncomment the part bolded below (just delete the -- part) then execute again the script. It will now restore the database to the server.
--@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
-- Run print @restoredb first to view the databases to be restored
- When ready, run exec (@restoredb)
-- EXEC (@restoredb)
