Hi,
How can I take the database from machine A with sql server express 2005 and place it into machine B with sql server express 2008 ?
I tried attaching but it seems there is a compatibility issue.
Thanks

What error are you getting? There should be no problems with detach/attach metho from 2005 to 2008. You could also try backup/restore method.
