Hi all, I installed SSMS Tools and now my intellisense isn't working. Is there a reset settings, like for VS (devenv /resetsettings)?

If you right click in a the query window there is an option to enable the Intellisense.

What about running

SSMS.EXE /selfreg /setup

in a command prompt

Will give it a try and let you know.

I have tried the SSMS.EXE command, but it still isn't working. Is there anything else that I can try?
Ardman
Have you looked at the link I posted?
Barry
Yes. But still no joy. :o(
Ardman
Then I'm all out of ideas I'm afraid. Only other option would be to reinstall the client tools. You are connected to a SQL 2008 database aren't you? Intellisense wont work on anything below SQL 2008.
Barry
Appreciate the help and ideas that you have given me. I will try and repair the installation to see if that helps.

Check two things:

1 - is the Intellisense enabled under Tools > Options:

Ok, so after all the help from Barry, I had to repair the installation from the DVD and now I have intellisense back. This worked for me, but Barry's may work for others.
