Restore single user mode

I have the following code to restore a database (it was not written by
me)
Dim ServerName As String
Dim DBName As String
Dim BackupToRestore As String
ServerName = "PENTIUM4\VIPER"
DBName = "master"
BackupToRestore = "ViperData\Bmaster"
Dim oServer As SQLDMO.SQLServer
Dim oRestore As SQLDMO.Restore
On Error GoTo Handler
'simple err checking
If ServerName = "" Or DBName = "" Or BackupToRestore = "" Then
MsgBox "You MUST provide server name, database name, and the name of
the bak file you want to restore", vbInformation + vbOKOnly, "Error"
Exit Sub
End If
'open connection to server
Set oServer = New SQLDMO.SQLServer
With oServer
.LoginSecure = True
.Connect ServerName
End With
'also need a restore object
Set oRestore = New SQLDMO.Restore
'use the 'with' construct to minimize property lookups
With oRestore
'this is where your backup will be restored to
.Database = DBName
'same as EM or TSQL, you can restore database, file, or log, here
we're going to
'use database
.Action = SQLDMORestore_Database
'this is the "force restore over existing database" option
.ReplaceDatabase = True
'this does a restore from a file instead of a device - note that we're
still
'restoring a database, NOT a file group
.Files = BackupToRestore
'do it
.SQLRestore oServer
End With
'standard clean up
Set oRestore = Nothing
oServer.DisConnect
Set oServer = Nothing
Exit Sub
Handler:
If MsgBox(Err.Description & ". Would you like to continue?",
vbInformation + vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
Resume Next
End If
I keep getting the error message that the sql server must be in single
use mode
The serve comes with a program I purchased and is controlled by
Microsoft service manager 8.00.760
How do i run it in single user mode?It sounds like you are trying to restore the database "Master" To =
restore master the entire SQl server must be in single user mode. This =
means starting SQl server from a command prompt or adjusting the startup =
parameters for running it a a service. From a command line is simplest - =
sqlservr -m.
Full detail;s of starting in single user mode are in BOL.

|||Yes I had read apbout that however two things. First to start my
server I need to type sqlservr.exe NOT sqlmangr.exe and when I type
sqlservr.exe -m I still get the error message
Am I using a different version of MS sqlmanager?

f@.4ax.com...|||BOL is Books online. Comes with SQlmserver and is the full product =
manual. Should read by everyone!
SQLSERVR.EXE is the command you want, sqlmangr is the little app that =
sits in the system tray tellimng you its running.
Look up restoring the master database in Books Online and you will find =
all the steps, but I would question WHY your VB code is trying to =
restore master if you were not aware of it. Do you really want to =
restore master?
