I cannot attach the database using enterprise manager. When I try to do so, it opens a find dialog, which I use to find the movie database. As soon as I select the database, I get an "attach as" down in the bottom of the dialog, but it is "hardwired" for D:\... Which is a CD drive on my laptop. If I attempt to change the D:\ to C:\ the "OK" button grays out and I am no longer allowed to continue. So little time, so much time wasted trying to get Microsoft stuff to work. John W.

Colby Sent: Monday, September 05, 2005 9:34 AM To: bheid at appdevgrp.com; dba-vb at databaseadvisors.com; SQLServer Subject: [dba-VB] MyMovieCollection database The starter kit for VB Express called MyMovieCollection appears to be working, however one of the fields in the SQL Server database is too short - the WebPageLink field. This database is used by the application but AFAICT I am not given any tools to work with the database itself. If this were in Access I would just open it and modify the length of the field and be done, but this is SQL Server. Can anyone tell me how to "attach" to this SQL Server database using SQL Enterprise manager so that I can make the mod necessary to allow this to work? John W.

Well, I have a vb.net program reading an rss feed and storing fields in a table. Cooool stuff. When I'm finished massaging the code I'll post it to show how I did it. John W.
