Thanks for the help that you given me.

I'm sorry, but Microsoft SQL Server 2000 is pretty new for me, and I really
do not now what kind of format the database (.dat) is.

I have trying to open it with a text editor, because I don't have a hex
editor and the only thing is have seen is computer language. I also tried a
'RESTORE FILELISTONLY' from the command prompt, but that didn't work. It my
be look a little stupid that I have tried it from the command prompt, but I
don't now what else it means. I suppose I have to search it in the server
itself, but my version is in Dutch. Perhaps you can tell me where I can find
that option in the menu of the Enterprise Manager?

What I not have tried is 'sp_attach_single_file_db'. Can you explain me a
little more about that possibility, perhaps that work?

Again, thank you very mouth for the help, and sorry for my imperfect
English! I live in Flanders.



Christian.
