Case Sensative Coallation

I have a case-sensative database which I want to attach to an insensative instance of SQL Server, but when I attach, it remains case sensative. How can I change it to insensative?I assume that you mean that you want to attach a SQL Server *database*, not an *instance*. Case sensitivity
follows with the database. Can you point to how you determine that the database changes case sensitivity?

I was hoping that I could attach a case sensative database to an instance of SQL server which was originally installed with Collation Settings insensative, and have the database act accordingly.

the archives for more info. If you don't find info there, you can post again...
