| I am trying to delete a database because I need to restore it. But when I try deleting I get an error message stating "Error 3072: Cannot drop database because it is currently in use."I closed query analyzer and browser windows using this database. I cannot figure out what is still open.Is there any way to restore the database without deleting it?Thanks,Ninel |
