>>>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.

You could just get multiple monitors. Make sure they are at least 22" .... OK - just wishful thinking!!!
