I'm trying to use ADO to restore a SQL 7 database using a backup file. The
database already exists on the target computer, and is named the same as on
the source computer, and the MDF and LDF files are named the same as well.

I am running the below in a stored procedure:

RESTORE DATABASE DB1
FROM DISK = 'c:\mssql7\backup\DB1.bak'
WITH MOVE 'DB1' TO 'c:\mssql7\data\DB1.mdf',
MOVE 'DB1_log' TO 'c:\mssql7\data\DB1_log.ldf'

And I get an error message "File 'DB1' is not a database file for database
'DB1' ".

I also tried it without the LDF file in the expression. Same results.

Thanks.
