I have created an SDI application with DB support & working with an MS SQL SERVER 2000 DB.

How can I detach a named DB using CRecordset or CDatabase or Windows API functions ?

Help me please.

You do this from CDatabase.

First, open your database using a connect string. This will vary according to the ODBC drivers you may have loaded. You can use the ODBCAdmin to create a DSN, by Calling CDatabase::Open with a NULL connect string.

Then use the CDatabase::ExecuteSQL to send an SQL detach statement. ie: "sp_detach_db 'mydb'"

Do you mean this ?:
CDatabase MyDatabase;
MyDatabase.Open(...);
...
...
MyDatabase.ExecuteSQL(_T("sp_detach_db MyDB.mdf"));

Don't include the file name. You just want the internal database name.

Note that the files will not be deleted.

Ah Like this:
CDatabase MyDatabase;
MyDatabase.Open(...);
...
...
MyDatabase.ExecuteSQL(_T("sp_detach_db MyDB"));
