| Hi,I'm using SQL 2005 express edition and my database files are in the MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data folder. When I'm trying to copy them I get "Files already in Use" error. How do I stop the server from running (services or command line). Or is there a better why to exportthem to a diffrent location.Thanks |
