>>When a file is open in SQL Server, the tab only shows a small part of the actualy file name. Same with the drop down Active Files list. For example, I have 2 files open from DB PkDemo3 on server SMAP001, pGetCustomers and pUpdateCustomers.

I know, but I shouldn't have to? And, if there are 15 files open, you only see 4 or 5 depending on how wide a monitor you have.

Why would anyone design the tabs this way?? It's completly counter-intuitive.
