Remember the thread I started earlier this morning where I could not attach a database. The DB Admin person for the customer replied that they (the company) do not have domains. What he said I should do is following:
1. Assign the role of db_owner to the database I need to copy and attach to their SQL Server.
2. Detach this database (after I assign it the role of db_owner).
3. Then, he said, I should be able to attach the database to their SQL server using the following code:
USE [master]
GO
CREATE DATABASE [MyDatabaseName] ON
( FILENAME = N'E:\MyDatabaseName.mdf' ),
( FILENAME = N'E:\MyDatabaseName_log.LDF' )
FOR ATTACH
GO
Does the above make sense to you? And I am stuck on item 1.

Thanks.
