We messed up on our development machine recently and had to uninstall then re-install sql server 7.0. The databases we were using are still physically there on the disk (we can see the .mdf & .ldf files) but we cant access them thru sql server. We can restore backups from tape but being programmer types we havent got backups for a couple of them.<br><br>How do I get the info in the files back into sql server? Agh!<br> <br> <br>
