How to attach a db by code?
I’d like to know how to attach a db by code. In my case, it’s a VB app to be attached to a SQL 2000 db.read about sp_attach_db and sp_detach_db in BOL for more information

Not sure if I understand you. Are you asking how to attach a db from VB or how to connect to a db from VB?

In fact I want to know how to attach a db from a VB app.
In that case you already have your answer. See ranjitjain’s reply. [<img src=’/community/emoticons/emotion-1.gif’ alt=’

Ok, thanks…..
I thought it’d have another way….
I’m going to check sp_attach_db and sp_detach_db.
Just to make it clear – sp_attach_db is a procedure that takes an existing (series of) MDF file(s) and serves it as a database. sp_detach_db makes the server stop serving the database, and releases (but not deletes) all the attached files. If you want to "attach" tables and views from the database "to" your VB application, then you’re talking about building an interface between the application and the database. You do this by using libraries like ADO in the VB code.
