Thanks for the file, solved my issue in less than 5 minutes.

The file worked perfectly for me as well. To add another download spot, I uploaded the file to my host. All you have to do is delete the  Personal.mdf and extract both files into the folder and you will be good to go. I am new to this and it took me 2 seconds after I found the file.

Hello.

I really appreciate you doing this, however for me it is not as easy as you make it sound.  You say in your post it is 5 minutes work, yet it took me a half hour just to create the tables.  After that, i am lost as to what to do next and it does not look easy with all of those procedures.

I can't believe that nobody has ever posted the up to date datbase for this starter kit.

Thanks for your help anyway.

 Hi:

"Jeremyh" did post an updated file at another thread!

And it does work. I checked it out some weeks ago and all worked fine.

 Hi ,

 That s fine ...But can you please suggest something on this error .. please 

An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:\Documents and Settings\Bharath Kumar\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\WebSites\PersonalWebSite4\App_Data\Personal.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
