Restoring a BCM database from SQL .mdf and .ldf files (Windows Vista or XP)

If you need to restore a BCM database from the .mdf and .ldf SQL database files, you can use the following script to attach the SQL database.

Be sure to install the latest version of BCM and all service packs before running this script, since BCM will not connect to databases that were created using newer versions of BCM.

Copy the text below into Notepad and follow the instructions.  Let me know if you have any questions about this.
