I have an e-commerce site that runs on SS 2005 on my ISP. I created a backup and installed it on my client. Everything worked fine until I tried to attach it and got the 5123 error "CREATE FILE encountered operating system error (access denied) while attempting to open.... mdf". I am using Windows 7
Does anyone know how to get around this?
Also - What is the attach used for? I can still log into the local version and run queries with SQL Server Management Studio.
