Hi All,

Warm greetings from the Philippines!

A backup of an MSSQL database running on enterprise edition was made by copying the two files from the data directory by an MIS manager who is planning to replace a customized VB program centered around it. I have been given the copy and the task of reprogramming their system in VFP. I only have a desktop version of MSSQL.

Is it possible to just copy the MSSQL (enterprise edition) database files to the data directory of an MSSQL desktop engine and open it through SQL-passthrough like MySQL?

If yes, please help and tell me how?

Thank you kindly.

Ronald
