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

I ran across this with Vista and SQL2008 RC. The solution is to run SSMS as administrator :



Just right-clicked on the SSMS icon, chose Run as Administrator and when I attached the DB to the SQL 2008 server it behaved exactly as I wanted with the DB attaching normally and NOT read-only.



This is on a box where I am already the admin account, but running SSMS as administrator to avoid the attaching as read only seems to be a different matter.



Hope that helps.
