 Detached - Now Cannot Attach!

I feel that I have done something stupid here.

I used SSMSE to detach my database so that I could create a copy - no problem here.

But then in SSMSE I right-clicked Databases, chose attach and expected to see my original database. But there are no databases shown in the attach window!

I have tried to find the original database in SSMSE but nothing I do allows me to see it. However, Windows Explorer shows me that the files are still where they were when I detached them.

Please help - this is driving me crazy.

Thanks

Chris

Fixed this myself.

At first I assumed that it must be a permissions problem and whilst fiddling around with SSMSE Attach screen I realised that I was not looking in the correct directory!

Obvious now.
