I down loaded twice to make sure that I didn't get a corrupt exe. But both times the same thing. The VS debug screen and when I choose No, every thing goes blank and then clears back to the desktop. Running XP media center with 4 meg ram. Never had this problem with any other versions... I'll try killing some things in ram and trying again in the morniing.

Yes, this is a common problem with SQL Server.  The error indicates that the MDF was not mounted.  So when the DDT is trying to create the StrataFrame database through SMO is assumes that the file name StrataFrame.mdf is available.  Why it became dismounted I cannot tell you as this is another issue altogether.  It can happen if SQL Server is re-installed and some other things like that.

So the error message is what I thought it was.  In this case, all you need to do is open SQL Server Management Studio and go to your SQL database.  Right click on the databases folder and then choose "Attach..."  Select the MDF file and it will be remounted.
