Database 'C:\Users\Tim\StarterKits\ClubSite\App_Data\Club.mdf' already exists. Choose a different database name.
Cannot attach the file 'C:\Users\Tim\WebSites\DustyBallenger\App_Data\Club.mdf' as database 'ClubDB'.

This error occurs when I first launch the site.  I am using VWD Express 2008 and SQL 2005 Express.  I am able to view the ASPNETDB.mdf and Club.mdf database using Database Explorer in VWD.  

I also cannot attach to the AspNetSqlProvider using the Web Admin tool, but I can add users using the Web Admin tool.  

I also have VS 2005, VS 2008, SQL 2005 and SQL 2008 on this machine.

Thanks for the help.

I've run into something similar to this and I am not sure but I think although the database did not actually exist in the server, the database's files (.mdf and .ldf) were still in the instance data files dir
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data [default directory]
