Does anyone know of any (hopefully) free plug ins for query analyser (SQL Server 2000) that allow you to set up different coloured backgrounds to differentiate between connetions to different servers. I am after this as I need a more visual way opf differentiating between my development environment and the 'live' environment. Different passwords are already in use, but I normally have a few open windows at any one time and hence need the visual difference.
As far I know there is not plug ins for QA. See ours sponsor for similar tools. Luis Martin ...Thus mathematics may be defined as the subject in which we never know what we are talking about, nor whether what we are saying is true. Bertrand Russell
I don't know of any easy way to do this. You could experiment with changing the font size of the window, or the color of the foreground and background. This can be done on a connection by connection basis using Tools|Options|Fonts. ----------------------------- Brad M. McGehee, MVP Webmaster SQL-Server-Performance.Com
You've got third party tools to do this but not to attach anything to QA supplied by SQL SErver. For instance refer to thishttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/columnists/bkelley/qa2k_3_1.asp link for better understand on QA. _________ Satya SKJ Moderator SQL-Server-Performance.Com
