Is it possible to write a plugin or a form for SQL Server Enterprise Manager version 8? I'm doing some simple queries all the time to admin the databases. So wondering if I could write something for it.

You mean the old SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager?? I don't think that old clunker had any extensibility points, sorry....
SQL Server Management Studio (SQL Server 2005 and newer) is based on Visual Studio and thus does have some extensibility - but it appears to be somewhat of a black art to write such a plugin - very little information is available.
Some is here:

Precisely that old clunker. I like that one, its simple fast and not too flashy. I just wish all DB interfaces were like that. Besides, I don't think upgrading to a new one is going to happen any time soon in my place. But thank you very much for the links, I suppose that when we upgrade, I'll look into your postings again.

Since I usually do all my work in a query window, I just use a bunch of custom written stored procedures that I made, passing in parameters as necessary. all of my redundant work is done this way.
