Problem with Mdf Database After Attached to Ssms

I have a problem with a .mdf database for ETAP 19.01. I tried to attach its .mdf database on SSMS and it successfully attaches. But when I detach it and reopen the database with ETAP 19.01 it says that the application is unable to open the database. Anyone here knows what is wrong with that? Or has anyone here experienced similar failure when opening .mdf database with default apps after it has been attached to SSMS? Any answers is appreciated. Thanks.

btw, here is the error message :

You wrote that you DETACHED the database. If the database is detached, an application won't be able to work with it.

Make sure you attach the database in SSMS before opening it in ETAP 19.
