I detached a database from sql server 2005 to an mdf file. I am able to logon to this mdf file from server management studio within sqlexpress instance using the sql user/pwd with no problem.

Within Visual Studio however, if I try to connect useing the Server Explorer, I receive the error:
"Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server. Only an integrated connection can generate a user instance. The connection will be closed."

I went into Advanced Properties and changed User Instance to False, and then get this error:
"Create Database Permission denied in database "master". An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file "c:\......mdf" failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.

I opened the database again in management studio and detached it from sqlexpress, but still get same errors.


This issue is similar to the one posted here
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlsetupandupgrade/thread/ec9f1ded-1b9e-476d-acd9-77caf79a47b4/

but unfortunately for me, none of the suggestions in that post work!

Would appreciate any help any one can give.
