Server A has a fresh install of the new sql server 2005. When I attempt to run this trick of yours, sql server 2005 indicates that the the file that I am attempting to restore onto it is not a database file or is missing some components. Any thoughts? Please be gentle in your explanation. I am a vfp developer and know very little about sql server.
