Use a downloaded database

I have downloaded a database from the Wrox website that for use with one of
their books.

I have saved the mdf and ldf files in the data folder - I take it this is
the correct folder as I can see the other databases their.

How do I now use this database in SQL Server 2000. When I go to Enterprise
Manager it is not listed as an available database.

Thanks

You need to attach the database before you can use it. In Enterprise
Manager, right-click on Databases, select All Tasks > Attach Database.
Alternatively, see Books Online for details of the sp_attach_db command.
