                                          | You have two choices:1) restore from the month old backup2) use a trick to enable attaching the database, but then you'll need to run emergency mode repair, which will result in data loss and transactional inconsistencies.If you can cope with the loss of work, I'd go with using the backup.Paul RandalLead Program Manager, Microsoft SQL Server Storage Engine + SQL Express(Legalese: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.) |
