Hi Paul,

I tried that without success.

The problem must have been with Enterprise Manager as the following has worked.

Thanks for the suggestion but again this has had no effect.

sp_resetstatus database_name - Gave a message the database did not exist.

drop database database_name - Then dropped the database as usual...

Hi,

Appreciate the suggestion however this has not had any effect.

It seems to be a problem with the restore process throughout the software.

Back to the drawing board ...

Thanks
