If the database names are all the same try this:
1) Detach the database using the stored procedure 'sp_detach_db'.
2) Re-attach the same database using the 'sp_attach_db' procedure. I
think this one requires the location of two files. The main database
(MDF) and the log file (LDF). Re-attaching the database will cause
MSDE to upgrade the database files.
