    <p>I've thrown the DLL in question at reflector and it's given me back the code at the bottom of this post, sadly there's nothing immediately obvious in the code that makes it easy to work out why it's stopped working for you (wouldn't it be nice if Microsoft shipped debug symbols with anything they produce that's written against the CLR?).</p> <p>There are a couple of places where the code makes me wonder if you might have a corrupted "recently used servers" list or something similar, perhaps you could try following the steps listed in <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1059105/how-to-remove-server-name-items-from-history-of-sql-server-management-studio">this question</a> to clear them out and see if that helps.</p> <pre><code>private void OpenConnectionDialogWithGlobalConnectionInfo() { if ((ServiceCache.GlobalConnectionInfo != null) &amp;&amp; (ServiceCache.GlobalConnectionInfo.Count != 0)) { try { using (ConnectionDialog dialog = new ShellConnectionDialog()) { IDbConnection connection; dialog.ImportRegisteredServersOnFirstLaunch = true; dialog.AddServer(new SqlServerType()); UIConnectionInfo connectInfo = ServiceCache.GlobalConnectionInfo[0].Copy(); if (dialog.TryToConnect(this.PopupOwner, ref connectInfo, out connection) == DialogResult.OK) { this.ScriptFactory.CreateNewBlankScript(ScriptType.Sql, connectInfo, connection); } } } catch (Exception exception) { ExceptionMessageBox box = new ExceptionMessageBox(new ApplicationException(SRError.FailedToCreateNewSqlScript, exception)); box.Caption = SRError.MessageBoxCaption; box.Show(this.PopupOwner); } } ServiceCache.GlobalConnectionInfo = null; } </code></pre>

    1. COAwesome - I followed the link to the question you mentioned, which brought me to this folder `X:\Users\Herb Caudill\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Shell`. I moved the various preference and settings files there to another folder, and was able to open SSMS normally. By selectively adding files back, I narrowed the problem down to the `windows.prf` file, which apparently had something in there that SSMS didn't like. I let it recreate that file & I'm back in business. Thanks!!

    3. CO@Rob and Herb, I don't know why I am plagued with this problem but for me it is always when I try to register a server, I get the same type of message but with the "Program Location" set to the RegisteredServers. In the past I have ended up uninstalling SSMS and reinstalling. We all know how much fun that is. I used Herbs method and was able to clear it up. THANK YOU for saving me hours of time.

Querying!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
