restore a backup db on MSDE

Hi,
I habe a MSDE 2000 on a server machine. I don't habe "Enterprise Manager" or
"SQL Analyzer".
How can I restore a backup database?
This machine had MS Access XP, I can write program with VB6. Is there anyway
to execute a SQL script "RESTORE DATABASE ..."?
Thanks for help

Yes, you can use OSQL.EXE and from there execute your RESTORE command. Both OSQL and RESTORE are
documented in Books Online, which you can find here:

You can use DbaMgr2k from http://www.asql.biz/DbaMgr.shtm
A free and mighty Admin-Tool for SQL-Server and MSDE, can backup and
restore too.
