MSSQL: Second user trying to connect generates: Cannot open user default database.

Different partition is fine as long as on sql server's local disk. My question for you is that file spider-lab.mdf is in C:\Documents and Settings\Adam\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\spider-lab-2\DB on sql server or not.

[codo]

No, SQL server resides here: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server.

Is it necessary for attached file to be located at server root?

[rmiao]

Not necessary in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server, but has to be on sql server's local disk. You still didn't tell us which machine your .mdf file is on.

[codo]

Mdf is on my local disk, as is SQL server.

SQLExpress creates a directory per user in "c:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Data\SQLEXPRESS" to store some information. Delete this directory and try again

So you want to connect to sql instance on your pc? Possible to move the mdf file to other folder with shorter path?

What's default db for the user? Is that db online? Does the user have permission in that db?
