In addition to Mary's suggestions elsewhere in this thread, note that you
can't simply import from an MDF file that is not attached to an instance of
SQL Server (which it may not be if someone sent it to you via e-mail or
removable media). If that is the case, you'll need access (no pun intended)
to an instance of SQL Server, and sufficient permissions to allow you to
attach a database.

The spammers and script-kiddies have succeeded in making it impossible for
me to use a real e-mail address in public newsgroups. E-mail replies to
this post will be deleted without being read. Any e-mail claiming to be
from brenreyn at indigo dot ie that is not digitally signed by me with a
GlobalSign digital certificate is a forgery and should be deleted without
being read. Follow-up questions should in general be posted to the
newsgroup, but if you have a good reason to send me e-mail, you'll find
a useable e-mail address at the URL above.
