An AB Suite 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.1, or 7.0 runtime database to be used as a new debugger database.
An AB Suite 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.1, or 7.0 debugger database created by another user to be used as a new debugger database.
To attach an existing database, perform the following:
Right-click the Database Server node and select All Tasks > Attach Existing Database.
The Attach a Database dialog box is displayed with a list of databases that can be attached.
Notes:
The list includes AB Suite 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.1, or 7.0 Runtime environment databases and existing SQL Server databases.
Only the AB Suite runtime database names are appended with (AB Suite).
Select a database from the list.

After attaching the database you can start the AB Suite system.
