Hi Mark, That makes complete sense, but it doesn't work :( I read somewhere that the Query Analyzer in previous versions of SQL Server is no longer a part of SQL Server 2005. I am not sure, but have a feeling, that this missing Query Analyzer is the reason I can't do what I want to do. Apparently, unless you use T-SQL to edit stored procedures, the only other way they can be edited is through Visual Studio. It can't be done directly in what is now called SQL Server Management Studio. It appears I need to learn how to navigate Visual Studio 2005 as well as SQL Server 2005. Here is an article I found about editing SQL Server 2005 stored procedures through Visual Studio - http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/051607-1.aspx Thanks for the help, Jennifer -----Original Message----- From: dba-sqlserver-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-sqlserver-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Mark A Matte Sent: Tuesday, June 26, 2007 1:32 PM To: dba-sqlserver at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [dba-SQLServer] Viewing and Modifying stored procedures Jennifer, I currently use an older version of SQL Server...7 actually...and all I have to do is double click a stored procedure and it opens in a window for me to edit it... Probably not useful...just thought I'd share. Mark A.
