It sound like you have version 655 but the mdf version is 661 (from MS SQL Server R2). There are couple of options.
- upgrade your SQL Server 2008 to SQL Server 2008 R2
- use the Generate Scripts tool to generate scripts for the database objects (abc) and run the script on your SQL server.
NOTE: You might have Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Studio on your machine but that doesn't mean that you have Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2Bryian TanPosted Dec 14, 2012, 1:42 PM
