Author Attaching & Detaching SQL 2000 Databases

Why is it that sometimes you can detach a database, delete the transaction
log, reattched the database and a new transaction log will be created; and
other times, the attach fails with an error message indicating that the
transaction log file name (including the path) "may be incorrect"?

Thanks,

Ross

Why detach and delete the transaction log? I've seen the
error before when others have done the same - it's not
really the best thing to do.
Some reasons for it not attaching are it not being cleanly
detached, issues or corruption in the database before
detaching, not using the with recovery clause, not using
sp_attach_single_fil
e_db, using sp_attach_single_fil
e_db
when the database had multiple log files.
