Custom Codes snippets with macros not working in SSMS

Created a T-SQL snippet named "insi" (also tried a bunch of other names). Ctrl-Enter, which works for other snippets, doesn't popup the list of objects. Instead I get a blank line inserted above the word "insi"

Code snippet:

INSERT $OBJECT$
(
$COLUMNS$
)

Works for me.

Which version of SQL Assistant are you running?
Does it work in the Query Analyzer?

3.0.24

It works in new Query Analyzer instance opened since I added the snippet.
It works in new SSMS instance opened since I added the snippet.

Doesn't work in SSMS instance already open.

That's because you configured SQL Assistant to install and load as SSMS plug-in. The plug-in is independent from the system tray application, it loads and unloads with SSMS and simply doesn't know about changes made using the system tray interface. To update the plug-in settings use the Options menu in the SQL Assistant menu in SSMS or just restart SSMS so the plug can pickup new settings.

I don't know if you realize that or not, but if you use the plug-in only, you don't need Windows to start SQL Assistant from the startup folder or start it up manually. SSMS loads the plug-in automatically whenever a new editor window is open. Yet, if you don't use the system tray, you will not be able to use SQL Assistant with other applications (except SSMS, VS, and Data Dude), and also you are going to miss the new error handling service, which will replace current error popups (if errors are enabled) and instead show non-interrupting error messages as system tray tips.

I didn't understand the add-in feature. That makes sense now. Thanks.
