Brian writes "Hello,

I receive a bunch a databases from a vendor of mine that I need to attach to my SQL server and then import that data to another database. I have had no problems, until now. When I go to attach the database I receive this error;

Could not open new database 'SBMA'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted.
Device activation error. The physical file name
'C:\MSSQL7\data\sbma.LDF' may be incorrect

I am running sql2k, so why is it trying to put this here in this folder??? Am i doing something wrong??"

Make sure that the vendor detached the database. If the vendor did, show us your DML and we'll take a look at it.
