I have installed the new version of strataframe and I have installed the strataflic samples. I go to Sql Server Management and tried to attach the Strataflic mdf. It tells me it is read only? I have turned off UAC in Vista, I have signed on as ADMIN and run as ADMIN when I have tried installing the sample too no avail. Any ideas? TIA

It probably just came out of the archive as read-only for some reason. Try navigating to the physical MDF file on disk and editing the file properties (right click on the file and select properties.) If the "read-only" check box is checked then that is your problem . Just uncheck it, click OK, and give it another shot.

I have tried that also? Nothing I do shows anything that it is read only but Sql Server Management thinks it is. UG! Any other ideas?
