    It is easy to do IF you first detach the database, and the process is outlined in a MSKB article,  But this process **REQUIRES** you have first detached the database on the first computer.  Unfortunately, I forgot to do that before I copied the files; and now I am a few hundred miles away from computer #1.

    Is there any process that will allow opening this database on computer #2 without having first "detached" it on computer #1?

    Maybe we can work around this by using a script to repeat the detach steps.

    For help about how to write a script, try post to: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/ITCG/threads/

    Since I use the program infrequently, and travel between locations less often, this could work for the future.  I could write a script to detach it before doing my backup, and re-attach it on opening the program.  Doesn't help now.  But, fortunately, I was able to recover from an old local backup, and reproduce what I had done at the other location.

    Thanks for the idea.
