    Resolved [RESOLVED] Error when installing database

    Good day everyone,
    I have created a small database driven scheduling program for the company I work for. I installed it on my laptop(which happens to be as old as dirt), just to help debug it. It works great, however when I went to install it on my PC at work, It gave me an error. I have attached a bmp of it. If anyone has come across this and knows of a fix, I would greatly apprieciate the help.

    Thanks.

    It seems to indicate that the database file is a newer version than the database software you have got installed.

    The simplest solution would be to install a newer version of the database software.

    If that isn't possible, open the database on the other machine and save it as an older version (if that is supported).

    Have not seen downgrades on SQL Server. If the version is new then what you have what version of SQL Server is installed? Where did the database come from? Did you just try and attach an mdf from another machine (server)? The other option might be SSIS to connect to the different version (newer) and make another DB on your older software and import the DB into that one, I don't know if this is possible or not I have not tried something like that. The best bet is to get the proper version of the SQL Server needed.
