How do I attach database when I just have express edition

I'm trying to attach a database to sql server using the sp_attach_db
stored procedure. However, I don't see management studio on my
computer. I do have Visual Basic 2005, which is supposed to install
the express version of SQL Server. How do I run the command to attach
the database given that I don't have a paid-for version of sql server?
Thanks,
Marvin
Try using the utility SQLCMD.EXE
