Converting Data from SqlServer Express to SqlServer 2005 beta 2??

Hi,
Was wondering if anyone could tell me how to convert the an SQL Server
Express (MDF) file into SQL Server 2005 Beta 2. I've been looking for a day
or so now and can't seem to find how to do this!!!
Any ideas?
Many Thanks
Wayne GibsonYou should find you can just attach it with sp_attach_db. Did you try
that?
Please ask SQL Server 2005 questions in the appropriate newsgroups:

Detach the DB in Express and attach it in SQL Server 2005. Or Backup and
Restore.
The backup and data files have 100% the same format.

Thanks for responding..
Could you tell me how I go about making a backup of a MS SQLServer Express
file.
I got MS SQLServer Express as part of the Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2, but
can't see any tools apart from those in the IDE.
Thanks
