No, I am trying to restore to a new database name while the existing one stays in place.

I ended up having him restore the database to another server with the original name and then I am restoring the logs. Of course, now he keeps putting it in recovery mode, so I cannot do logs. Hopefully, we'll get where I can restore some logs...

When he did the restore originally, the database had next to it something like "restoring..." instead of the "recovering...". Thus, I Don't think he did the right type of restore.
