Hello Guys
I am working on a web project & I need to add a mdf file of my database (Ms sql server 2008 R2) to App_Data , when I add it to my project & double click on it to see the server explorer of visual studio 2010 , I face this error:
<<the database "My database" cannot be opened because it is version 661. this server supports 665 and earlier. A downgrade path is not supported>>
what's the problem ? should I install new updates of Ms SQL 2008 from Microsoft updates?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Look at similar issues discussed here if they help:
DB cannot be opened because it is version 655. This server supports version 612[^]
Version 661. This Server supports version 655[^]

I agree with the first solution (first link): uninstall SQL server and install correct version.
Good link, my 5!
