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

Buffie

More than likely it is just the extraction of the mdf and ldf that is read-only versus the internal definitions of the database.  Just select eh StrataFlix.mdf and StrataFlix.ldf files, right-click, then go to properties.  ENsure that they are not set to read-only.

I run Strataframe on my laptop (Vista) and my desktop (XP) and the Strataflix data was working fine on the desktop so I just copied the data out to a thumb dirve and copied it onto my laptop and then tried attaching it. It worked fine. I am not sure why the original problem but all seems well now....... Yea!

Glad you got it going.
