i tried to attach an SQL database using a system built stored procedure called sp_attach_db

EXEC sp_attach_db @dbname = N'Panorama',@filename1 = N'C:\Import Database\Panorama.mdf',@filename2 = N'C:\Import Database\Panorama_log.ldf'

any time i run it, it gives me this error "Device activation error. The physical file name 'C:\Import Database\Panorama.mdf' may be incorrect."

can anyone help explain to me what the problem is?

The error suggests the problem. The file C:\Import Database\Panorama.mdf does not exist. Check whether the file really exists on the computer where your SQL server installed.
