• REMTemplateV3-1.mdf
• REMTemplateV3-1.ldf
The default SQL folder name and path is: C:\MSSQL7\Data\. The number in the file
2.
name is not related to the version of the software or hardware used. Rename the files
to a name of your choice, for the Multi db, such as Multi.mdf and Multi.ldf. Renaming
is necessary to not restrict use of the template files, in order to create another Multi db
at some future time.
3. Run the Query Analyzer, an MS SQL server tool. This tool is not supplied with Multi, it
is a standard SQL server tool.
4. Connect to the SQL server. Enter the following code, including the commas:
sp_attach_db 'Multi',
'C:\MSSQL7\Data\Multi.mdf',
'C:\MSSQL7\Data\Multi.ldf'

• The SQL server name.
• The Share name of the folder that will hold the Multi db.
2. Make sure a SQL Server client is installed on the PC used to connect to a SQL Server.
3. Launch Admin. The Admin Logon window appears.
4. In the Admin Logon window, enter Administrator in the User ID box.
