Hi everyone,

I am reading MS SQL 2008 Reporting services...The instructions have me download a database called GALACTIC from their site. I have downloaded it, ran the setup script for the db, but when I got to restore the database, I get error 3241, which typically means a bad backup/corrupt file. I have downloaded the file twice with the same result. I am running a MICROSOFTSMLBIZ desktop database v8.0.2055 and sql studio 2008 R2. Any ideas???

Thanks
John

Your database version is SQL 2000. A SQL 2008 database will not restore or attach to SQL 2000. If you're using SQL 2008 reporting services, install SQL 2008, not SQL 2000.
