Thanks Visakh :)!
By the way, I'm trying to attach AdventureWorks Datawarehouse. How many files should I have one (mdf) or 2 files (mdf and log).

A link to a FULL AdvantureWorks DW will be very helpfull.
Thanks again

You can attach the MDF by itself, if that's all you have, but best practice is to attach both MDF and LDF files.

Microsoft sample databases are located here: http://msftdbprodsamples.codeplex.com/

Hi Thanks you too.

This is what I just did: I downloaded the just .mdf. Romoved the log file from the list which show autimatically while you are trying to attache the DW. This will avoid triggering an an error. Click OK. then the log file will be automatically created.
