    <p>Thank you for all of the comments. Some of you helped to lead me to the answer. Here's what I found:</p> <p>It was an NTFS permission problem, and not a SQL problem. Further, it looks kind of bug-like (and it's repeatable).</p> <p>The problem: The account that I was using had full control NTFS permissions to the mdf and ldf files. However, it had those permissions through group membership (the Local Administrators group had permissions, and my account is a member of local admins). (I verified the permissions)</p> <p>If I try to do the attach, connect to SQL Server as me (where I am in the admins group), it fails with the NTFS problem.</p> <p>However, if I grant the same file permissions that the local admin group has directly to my Domain Account, then I can attach with no problems.</p> <p>(oh, and yes, I checked the local groups on this machine, and I verified that my domain account is indeed a member of the local admins group).</p> <p>So, it looks as though the error occurs because some code (either in SQL Server or Management Studio) checks for the permissions that the user account holds, but it doesn't go so far as to check group permissions that the user account inherits.</p> <p>That sounds weird to me, but I can reproduce it over and over again, so I have concluded that it is the answer.</p> <p><strong>Update:</strong> I reported this as a bug: <a href="https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/539703/access-denied-attaching-a-database-when-permissions-are-inherited" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/539703/access-denied-attaching-a-database-when-permissions-are-inherited</a></p>

    1. COIf, like me, you are using Windows 7, you will have to run SQL Server Management Studio as Administrator to avoid getting this error.

    2. COReproduced on Win7 Pro using SS2008 Express. Same issue for both sqlcmd and SSMS. == Meldung '5120', Ebene '16', Status '101', Server 'DAGO\SQLEXPRESS', Zeile 1 - 'Die physische Datei 'D:\data\mssql\drei.mdf' kann nicht geöffnet werden. Betriebssystemfehler 5: '5(Zugriff verweigert) == Granting full access to the user (who is a member of the local admin group, which has access) fixes the problem. Also, running sqlcmd (or SSMS, I guess) as Administrator doesn't produce this error.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
