When inFlow starts and detects there's a connection issue with the database, it would try to reattach the database automatically. However, if it failed, you can reattach the database manually via the following steps:

1) Open a command prompt as an administrator.
- on Windows XP, log in using an administrator account, and click Start --> Run --> type "cmd" --> press Enter.
- on Windows Vista, bring up the Start Menu --> type "cmd" --> right click on cmd.exe --> select Run as administrator.

2) Copy the following line, then right click the command prompt (the black window that opened) and click Paste, then hit Enter:
           cd "\Program Files\inFlow Inventory"
If you get an error saying "The system cannot find the path specified", you might be on a 64-bit version of Windows. In that case, please instead use:
           cd "\Program Files (x86)\inFlow Inventory"

3) Copy the following line, and again paste it into the command prompt and hit Enter:
           sqlcmd -S .\inFlowSQL -i attachDB.sql

4) Once the command completed successfully, you can restart inFlow.
If the command failed, please copy and paste the returned errors to an email and send it to support@inflowinventory.com.
