plz, there is something strange i noticed while attaching sql server database. Am attaching from my VB code. when i place the database file on my c: drive(or any directory within this drive),it gets attached to my sql server instance(am using sql server 2005 express edition and run windows XP). But when i placed the database file in My Document, it doesn't get attached.I tried using my sql server management studio. i can locate the database file when i tried attaching it from c: drive but the node for My Documents folder cannot be expanded (actual path is "C:\Documents and Settings\Oyad\My Documents"). Cannot file reside in My Documents folder?
