  • I've never heard of this. If it's when you select the Detach menu item, I suspect that you have a corrupt installation of SSMS

  • Make sure that you have the latest release (RC0 or RC1?). And, make sure that it is installed on both the server AND the client (people always forget to upgrade the client tools also).
