Connect Database Engine

  • Hi

    I work with several SQL servers and when I load a script file to Management Studio I double click the .sql file and then I get the Connect Database dialog where I can choose the Server Name. This is how it has worked om my old XP computer

    Now I have a new Windows 7 computer, but when I now load a .sql file to Management Studio it loads by default to the Server I am connected to. I do not get the Connect To Database Windows window any longer.

    Does anyone know where I can changed this? Tool > Options seems exactly the same om both my new and old computer

  • Interesting, cannot say i have noticed it, i thought that was the default action regardless of OS version.

  • Hi

    Wich did you think was the default action? Like it worked before or now?

  • if you dont have a connection, it will being up the connect dialog, if not it will open and connect to what every server you are currently connected to.

  • That is how it works now. On my old XP computer with the same installation of Management Studio I always got the Connection dialogue box and could choose server to connect to
