attempt to copy 2005 db ouside my network shows wrong db?

I connected to an sql 2005 located out on the Internet.
I can export the database I have permissions for and its data ok.
When I right click on the db and choose copy, I get an error at the end of the
wizard saying that Database 'dbThatIsDifferentThanMine' cannot be opened because
it is offline. Error 942.
That database shows up in the managment console, and it is offline, but it is
not the one I right clicked on to copy. I don't have permission to put that
database online, just permissions for the one I want to copy.
How can I resolve this?

Thanks in advance, Les CaudleHi
I am not sure why this is not selecting your database when you right click!
Have you tried left clicking before you right click?
An althernative you be to backup and restore the database into a new copy,
you can do this in a query window. If you need to do this often then creating
a script will probably end up being quicker.

This is on a client's ISP's shared web server. I only have access to his
database - and am going to need to grab it.
Can I backup and restore in this circumstance - as you suggested? I think I'm
going to be limited in what I can do.
Thanks, Les Caudle

Providing you can connect with Query Analyzer or Management Studio, and
have a directory that SQL can write to, you should be able to use the
BACKUP and RESTORE commands to do a backup and restore.|||Hi
To backup the datbase you will need in the db_backupoperator, db_owner or a
sysadmin role, for restoring you will need to be a sysadmin or in dbcreator
role.
To use sp_attach_db you will need CREATE DATABASE, CREATE ANY DATABASE, or
ALTER ANY DATABASE permission, for sp_detach_db you will need to be a
db_owner.
I suspect that the copy wizard may not be working because you fail on some
or all of these privileges. By doing a manual backup you may get a message
saying that you do not have the privileges to carry out the opertation.
