I posted recently with a problem moving my db to a new server. That one is solved (copy physical files to the new server, then reattach -- duh!). BUT! I just did that, and my db is essentially a 'virgin' db! There are none of the many tables, views, sp's etc. NOTHING! I created a backup before I detached it, so hopefully I can restore from that, but can somebody advise what I could have done wrong? Many thanks. David
