Plz sir tell me how i solve this problem.

The database 'F:\WEBSITE\WEBSERVICE\APP_DATA\PUBS2012.MDF' cannot be opened because it is version 706. This server supports version 655 and earlier. A downgrade path is not supported.
Could not open new database 'F:\WEBSITE\WEBSERVICE\APP_DATA\PUBS2012.MDF'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted.
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file F:\Website\WebService\App_Data\pubs2012.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.

What exactly are you trying to do? Are you opening database created in SSMS 2012 using SSMS 2008?

You are trying to open a database created in (or upgraded to) a later version of SQL in an earlier version. Specifically, you seem to be trying to open an SQL 2012 database in Sql2008. You cannot do that - a database format can only be opened by the version of SQL that created it, or later than that. If you open a database in a later version, it is upgraded to the new format, and you cannot open in the original application again.
