Thank you for your interest in the beta program. The beta email account initially used for private invitations is now deactivated because the beta is going to be public. Tomorrow we will have the download link for the beta version available on the product main page. Again, sorry for the caused inconvenience and confusion.

When you select one of the options under DB Queries, on the DB Options Tab, the selected item gets blacked out.

I am running Vista 64bit.

Please post a new topic for each issue. It is not possible to track them if everything is lamped together

when I try to configure values in configuration window, sometimes it is irritating, because it is too small.
Would you please make it larger so users can easily configure values anytime?
There is no maximize button on control windows.

At present the SQL Assistant tool opens the contents of an object, when holding ctrl and left click on object name, in a SQL Assistant tab. To enable the quick editing of the objects, for example procedures, would it be possible to open the contents of the object straight into a SSMS query editor tab depending on the object? for example, the contents of an entity is probably OK in a SQL Assistant tab, however, a procedure or function will open in an SSMS tab enabling a developer to immediately start re-factoring the object. Would it also be possible to highlight objects of the same name within a script, variables for example, with a light colour to quickly identify all occurrences of the object?

Off the record I believe yours' is a very honourable organisation, providing a great service for little cost, thank you.

I agree, it is very difficult to see the current value and make changes. Window cannot be sized. It will be great if the window can remember the last size I set it on (when it can be re sized).

Hi, Have you read the previous posts in this topic?

Tool tips in the options windows do not stay open long enough to read them.
