Unable to open the physical file"

I have just completed the installation of Visual C# Express and I am attempting to connect to a delivered SQL .mdf database using the database browser of the IDE.

When I test the connection, I'm getting an error that the system is unable to open the physical file and "The Process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process".

I do not have any other applications open other than Visual C# Express. I have tried shutting down and rebooting the computer but I still get the same error.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can around this problem

Thanks,

Richard
