Cannot edit stored procedures

[Steven Blair]

Hi,

CHeck a couple of articles online for debugging stored procedures
through the MS IDE. Each article indicates you should right click the SP
name from the Server Browser and selected Edit. This is my problem, I
don't have edit available, only:

Run Stored Procedure
Refresh
Copy
Properties

SQL Server is installed locally and no poblems connecting.
.NET 2003 Professional with SP1.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Regards,

Steven

I don't know.. I get the option just fine.

My only guess is that you have connected to the DB using a
login/password which does not have rights to modify stored procedures

I've never been able to do this. I always edit the creation scripts and
rerun them.

It's been the same on several different machines. If there is an Edit
option in the context menu in the Server Browser I don't know where to find
it.

It's better to edit the scripts anyway -- that way you have the SPs under
version control. The only problem is you have to remember to run them when
you change them, and they're rather retarded about asking you for DB
credentials -- you get asked for userID/password twice the first time you
run a script after opening up a VS session, and once thereafter.
Fortunately the userID defaults so you only have to type the password.

Hi,

Thanks for the replies.

I am using an admistrator account on every machine I have tried. This
has been attempted on 4 different PC's either connecting to local or
remote instances of SQL Server 2000. Different OS, XP, XP SP2, W2k SP4.

We are using .NET 2003 Professional.

It seems strange this is not working on multiple machines. The version
of .NET is the only common factor that I can see in this problem. What
version of MS Visual Studio IDE are you running?

Anyone else having similar problems?

Any more help on this matter is appreciated.

Regards,

Steven
