DETACH database gray out

Hi gurus
I try to detached a database but the detach entry is gray out thus I cannot
detach the database.
I am logged in as sa , mssql2000 . Right click on the database -> All tasks
-> Detach database ( Gray out )....
Any idea what is wrong? Why is it gray out?What database are you trying to detach? If it is a system database, you
cannot detach it.
