Did you get an elevation prompt when you saved the file to the root of the C drive? What user account is SQL Server running under, and does it have permissions to read any files in the root of the C drive? You might do better placing the file into %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.

The database files aredownloaded from my website, followed by the application download (written in VBE). The first procedure is to attach the database to the SQLServer instance from within the application.I have two test machines one runs Windows XP x84, the other Windows 7 x64. Inever have issues on attaching the database operating system files in my test envirnoment but twice nowother people downloading have gotthe following error System.Data.Sqlclient.sqlexception (ox 80131904) Directory lookup for the file C:\Documtents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Tem1.mdf failed with the operating system error 5 (failed to retrieve text for this error. Reason 1815) changed database context to 'master'. I'm not sure what the problem is and therefore how to correct the issue.
