I have a TSQL script that restores a production database to my local
development machine. Every time I do a restore, I have to go into
Enterprise Manager and set the recover model to simple to prevent
Windows XP Backup from having shadow copy problems (that is a rant in
and of itself). I would like to just add a statement at the bottom of
the script to do this, but have yet to find the proper commands
documented. It seems that the instructions that come with the server
only mention enterprise manager.

Thanks in advance for any help.
