Hello,
I have Sql Server in one pc and I want to attach one databse that is in another computer that doesnt have SQL Server. Sql Server doesnt permit UNC path when attaching database files. Is there anyway to workarounf this. Is Trace Flag 1807 of any use?
Thanks
Greetings, I have just arrived back into the country (NZ) and back into ASP.NET.
I am having trouble with the following:An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file (file location).../Database.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
It has only begun since i decided i wanted to use IIS, I realise VWD comes with its own localhost, but since it is only temporary, i wanted a permanent shortcut on my desktop to link to my intranet page.
Anyone have any ideas why i am getting the above error? have searched many places on the internet and not getting any closer.
Cheers ~ J
I am trying to attach a network database to my sql server express
After some reading I "Enabled" tcp/ip, named pipes, and shared memory in sql server confiuration manager.
But when I go to "Attach Database" in Sql Express managemnent studio. It does not show the network drives much less allow me to attach anything on a network drive.
What am I missing here?
If I install sql server on the network machine will my local Sql express recognize it?
Can multiple instances of SQL 2005 Express attach to the same database files on a network share? I have seen this done before with MSDE where the database files are stored on the server, but instead of having a SQL server running on the network and then connecting to it, only the database files exist on the network share and the users connect through MSDE running on the local machine. Is this possible with SQL2005Express? I do not have the ability to share an SQL instance from one workstation to another nor do I have the ability to install an instance on the corporate server. Is it as simple as creating the database and storing the files on the share then attaching the database to the SQL Instance on each workstation?

I checked my server forum and they said I had to name a database:
Example: Database=(unique name);
But this didn't work either.
I just tried a simple web project that has only one database and one table in SQL Express with one sqldatasource and one datagrid. It works fine on my pc but when I use the copy function in Visio Studio 2005 Pro - I can't run the site on the remote server: www.myjewelrydirect.com
I tried coping the database manually. I tried disconnecting the database before I copy it. Below is my connection statement:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="TestDB" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|TestDatabase.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
With all the comments in these forums - this must be a bug.
I have been working on this problem for over 2 weeks - HELP!

If I detach a database on a server, then attach the database with asingle file only using the data file...will I lose any transactionsthat were in the original log file? There is a debate going on here atwork where some people think that during the detach, transactions inthe log file are saved to the data file.Thanks!

DOH! When I rebuilt the OS, I changed the data partition ID's, and didn't remember to change them in the connetion strings
Not great, but better than continuing to bang head against wall.
Would like to say to MS appreciators that the VS2005 reinstall actually went quite well, considering.
===========================================================================
I built an app, works fine. Had the development environment working fine (VS2005 (SP0) and SQL Server Express). It had been stable for months, no problem.
Then I had to reinstall XP Pro...(finally threw too many conflicting programs into it, I guess...)
I managed to get VS2005 reinstalled ok. However, when I opened and compiled my existing app in VS2005, using Cassini, I got the dreaded error:
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file <file string> failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
I also get this error for the compiled copy of the app on the same machine, running on IIS. (Where it also previously worked fine).
The Connection strings are all of the form
connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=(specific file string).MDF;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
I appreciate that there are zillions of posts on this issue. I'm hoping that someone might know why this should happen in this particular case.
The thing that's different about this case is that the app was working fine; I have the app deployed on a demo machine and also on a remote server as well as on the development machine.
The only thing that changed is that there was this fresh install of SQL Server Express.
I tried using >> sp_configure user instances enabled','1';RECONFIGURE <<< in SSMSEE, which took, but didn't help.
So something is different in SSE. Since the app is stable everywhere else, I REALLY don't want to go through and adjust the connection strings...MUCH better to figure out what SSE needs to be happy with the existing connection strings...as it was before.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!
EDIT----TRIED SOME THINGS:
Changed folder and file permissions to allow ASPNET full access to the .mdf's and log files (though never had to do this before on the development machine.) No change...
Can see the table contents within the .mdf through SSMSE, and also through Server Explorer in VS2005.
So because the problem happens with both IIS and Cassini, I'm assuming it's got to be an issue between ASPNET and SSE.
EDIT --- TRIED SOME MORE THINGS:
I dimly remember that when I had this problem before, it was that the error message was too "dumb". It wasn't my file that had the permissions problems, it was that the SSE System Databases had to have permissions with respect to ASPNET.
I tried to set that up but I'm a complete newb on this area, so I don't know if I did it right. In SSMSE I created a Login for MyComputer/ASPNET, and gave it all permissions and roles, and then made it an owner for the four system databases...but no joy.
Any pointers on this last piece would be helpful.

Hi,
I've just created my first projects using Visual Studio 2005 and SQL 2005 Express. This is the basic;
One windows service is created that updates a database. The windows service running under "Local system" account
One windows application where a user can see data (and change) from the database
A common business and dataaccess layer/project is used by both applications
Connection string to the database: "Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|DataDatabase.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=60;User Instance=True"
Both application is located in the same directory. When the computer starts the windows service starts and works perfectly. But when a user starts the windows applications the following error is reported "An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file..A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share".
It look likes that only one of my application can connect to the database at a time!
Is it possible to use separate applications to connect to the same database file?

Hello,
I have seen some solutions of which I tried on this form for the error I am receiving, but I still cannot get the issue resolved.
Here is my case:
I developed an app using SQL Express as the local data source. I published it to my server using the Once Click install feature. When I look in my project viewer, under settings, My db connection strings are listed as follows: Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|TAP_Master.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True
From another computer, I navigate to the publish site, install and run the application with no problems. I have on another computer, the same app with an updated version number that I wish to publish, however the difference is is that this published version does not include the database as I do not want the end user to overwrite any existing data that they may have from the previous version.
I publish the updated version, install it but when the app runs, I receive the message, "An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file".
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
Completely new to this stuff, so sorry if I'm asking
something that is painfully simple to resolve!!! Also, not sure whether
there are standard formats for code, errors etc.
OK. When I create a Login.aspx file in VWD Express on my local Hard Disk Drive, the file works and runs correctly, allowing
me to log in etc.
However, when I do exactly the same thing using a remote Network Drive connection to an Intranet server, when you enter the
Username and Password, and Click the Log In Button, the following error message appears:-

exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC

Hi all,
I have "SQL Server Express" as well as SSMS-E installed on the same machine. I am trying to get SSMS-E to connect to a database (i.e., an .MDF file) that resides in a folder on the desktop.
After establishing a connection to my "SQL Server Express" instance within SSMS-E, I right-click on "Databases", in the "Object Explorer" window and select "Attach..." and click the "Add..." button. The resulting dialog box opens in the directory:
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData" where I see several MDF files. But as I said, my MDF is not in this directory - it's on the desktop.
If I try to navigate to the proper directory on the desktop I see no MDF files. In fact, I cannot even navigate past my username -- that is, I cannot even navigate to the desktop, let alone folders on the desktop. I don't know why.
Of course I *could* put the MDF file in the SQL-E approved directory but shouldn't I just be able to navigate to it using SSMS-E? Incidentally, I *AM* able to connect to the database on my desktop if I use Visual Studio and I specify "UserInstance=true". Not specifying "UserInstance=true" results in this error:
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Documents and SettingsRobinDesktopMyCompany.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
Can someone explain what might be causing the problem with SSMS-E, and, for that matter, why it's necessary to specify "UserInstance=true" in Visual Studio?
Thanks so much. I hope these are not too many questions.
