you cannot attach a file in a client computer unless it has a local server on it

if you're trying to access the sql server, install the client tools like enterprise manager and query analyzer

if you're trying to copy the database files from the server to your client machine with sql server on it, take a backup of the database from the server then restore it on your local machine

or you can detach the databases on the server, copy the mdf and ldf files on your client machine (do not move them), then attach the files, server and client (both have copies of the db files)
