I am using visual studio 2005 pro and have SQL 2005 server express.

From in VS I create a project and add a database (mdf file). I want to do a bulk insert of data I have into the mdf file from within VS. I have figured out how to do this by attaching the mdf file to SQL server but if I detach I cannot use the file as it says access denied.

That is correct. Once you detach the file, you will not be able to insert data.
You need to have a connection to the physical file storage to do any sort of insert, bulk or otherwise.
