Cannot launch SQL Server management studio

Hi people,
I cannot launch the sql server management studio. In the event log, appear the next entry:
Faulting application ssmsee.exe, version 2005.90.2047.0, faulting module msvcr80.dll, version 8.0.50727.4053, fault address 0x0000e7a2.
What can i do for repair this? Uninstall the sql instance? This affect to sap system installed?
Other options?
More thanks

Hi Ruben,
What is the MS SQL Server version and SP level ? Which windows server is it - 2000/2003/2008 - 32bit/64 bit ?
Is the database/SAP up and running ?
I got to see another old thread for similar problem from you. Is it a regular problem or just something happened recently ? Any configuration changes/any activity related to MS SQL Server or any OS changes done recently ? But as the link suggests in your old thread, may be you can give it a try or try upgrading the sql server to a higher SP level ?
Starting SQL Server Management Studio Express
If you are an SAP customer, I would suggest you to open a customer message if the problem is urgent and in productive/live landscape.
Thanks

  • SQL 2008 R2: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio cannot shut down because a modal dialog is active. Close the active dialog and try again

    When starting SQL Server 2008 R2 it hangs , and I cannot exit...so when  trying to logoff to reset I get the following "Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio cannot shut down because a modal dialog is active. Close the active dialog and try again"Any
    ideas?

    Big edit...
    I have 2008 R2 SP2 installed on my Windows 7 Machine which is also fully updated.  The marked answer above is clearly not the solution.
    The fix I had posted before did not work.  It appeared to work temporarily, but now I am back to the same invisible dialogue.  I have not been able to identify any pattern by which this is triggered.  I can have an entire day without this
    issue and then it appears the next.
    The invisible modal dialogue is definitely the connection dialogue.  The only way out is to hit the escape key to close it, but then I am no better off without an ability to connect to a server.  The dialogue is still invisible when I re-open it.
    However, even as I type this post, I have just gotten the dialogue to appear after restarting Management Studio, hitting escape, then clicking connect again.  That same pattern failed just minutes ago numerous times.  Again, I can't find any pattern.
    See you in the clock tower.

  • Cannot connect to any database either in Azure or Sql Server Management Studio

    Hello,
    Before you can connect to your SQL Database server, you must use the
    Windows Azure Platform Management Portal to configure the SQL Database firewall: on the Firewall Rules tab of the SQL database server, add the IP address of your computer into the IP address range.
    What's more,Windows Azure SQL Database does not support Windows Authentication. Please use SQL Server authentication in your connection string.

  • How to create a package without BIDS in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio

    I have inherited some SSIS packages that I found I can edit by opening the .dtsx file in my local copy of Microsoft SQL Server management studio.  I then get Control Flow tab, Data Flow tab etc.  I can add or change or delete any of the control
    or data flows.  I have found that if I use the same path to the local file where the packages are stored that exists on the server, I can edit the dtsx file on my local machine and copy the dtsx file to the server into the same directory structure and
    sucessfully execute the package on the SQL 2008 server.
    I have VS 2010 installed.  I have read that I have to install VS 2008 to use BIDS from within VS.  However, this has not worked out very well.  Since I can basically create a new package by deleteing all of the control and data flows from
    an existing package, I am in pretty good shape.  However, I would just like to know if there is a way to create a new dtsx file from within Microsoft SQL Server management studio.  Also one thing I have not been able to change is the event handler
    name or package exploration name....it is just an annoyance since it does not cause any problems, just would like to be able to rename it.   

    Hi Fred,
    We cannot develop SSIS package in SQL Server Management Studio. If we use SQL Server Import and Export Wizard, we can save it as a package but the package is rather simple.
    We use Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) or SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) to develop SSIS packages. To develop SSIS 2008 packages, we must use BIDS installed by SQL Server 2008, and the BIDS 2008 can only be integrated with Visual Studio 2008.
    To develop SSIS 2012 packages, we use the SSDT installed by SQL Server 2012 which uses Visual Studio 2010 shell and can only be integrated with Visual Studio 2010.
    Different versions of SSIS package have different package formats/schemas. If you can create SSIS packages project in you Visual Studio 2010, it means that you have installed SSDT already, and the packages you design are SSIS 2012 packages. If you open and
    eidt SSIS 2008 packages in you Visual Studio 2010, the packages will be upgraded to SSIS 2012 package format. SSIS 2012 packages cannot be downgraded to SSIS 2008 packages or deployed to SSIS 2008 server.

  • What version of SQL Server Management Studio do I need?

    I need to install SQL Server Management Studio on my windows 8.1 PRO 64-bit pc to manage SQL server 2008 R2. do I download the 2014 or 2012  or 2008 version?

    Hello,
    Install the SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) of the same version of SQL Server you have installed.
    If you modify maintenance plans using a newer version of SSMS, you then cannot use a lower version of SSMS to modify/change it again.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to find a record then edit using sql server management studio

    Hello,
    A very basic question:
    I want to find a record stored in MS SQL Server 2008 express database table then edit the record.
    I tried to do it using SQL Server 2008 management studio express because I have been using MS Access database all the time. I have right clicked the table in management studio, clicked the "Edit top 200 records" menu item then when records were
    displayed on the result pane, I pressed Ctrl + F key to find a student named Simon for example. Well, nothing happened. I couldn't see any dialog boxes for putting in the search criteria.
    I guess I cannot simply use Ctrl+F in SQL Server management studio to find / edit a record.
    Can someone please teach me how to find a record specifying a search criteria then edit the record in SQL server management studio?

    Hi ZKM128,
    I have not seen Ctrl+F to be used to look for desired rows in Sql server.
    On the result pane after you selected "Edit top 200 records", just right click , select
    PANE, SQL, you will get the T-Sql query t,here you need to mention the exact criteria which you are looking for, and then you will get the desired rows and then you can edit.
    Thanks

  • How to fix SQL Server Managment Studio?

    Background:
    I am still fairly new to MS SQL (2012).  Our company is converting from Sybase to MS SQL next month and I have been trying out tools to hook our code repository to the database code.  I have tried RedGate SQL Source Control and Agent SVN. 
    I was having issues linking the RedGate product to our biggest converted test database and was waiting on their support so I uninstalled it to tried Agent SVN.  It seamed to work fairly well.  When RedGate got back to me I uninstalled Agent SVN.
    The Problem: 
    After I did that, SSMS would no longer start up.  When accessed either from a command prompt of by directly clicking on the application, nothing happens.  When clicking on the product in windows explorer, the cursor might change for a split second.
    My Attempts to Fix:
    I started by trying to repair SSMS.  No change.
    I then uninstalled and reinstalled SSMS.  No change.
    I then uninstalled SSMS, uninstalled all things .net, uninstalled all visual C++ items that were installed the same day and the original SSMS install and reinstalled SSMS.  Still no change.
    Short of reformatting and reinstalling everything on my development computer, I am out of ideas.

    Hi,
    Have you tried to launch the SQL Server Management Studio by click Ssms.exe directly in the following path?
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\ManagementStudio\Ssms.exe
    If you have system restore enabled on your machine, you may restore the system to previous time and see if it helps.
    To restore system will preserve all the software and files before the previous restore point. And all of your private date will be preserved.

  • SQL Server Management Studio and Native Client different behaviour on delete

    I have a problem with transaction containing insert and delete to same table and some select/insert/update to some other tables. Problematic table has primary key defined as combination of column1 and column2.
    When two different instances using Native Client execute simultaneously this code and make inserts to table then delete part of code causes deadlock. However this doesn't happen when trying this situation in MS SQL Server Management Studio query.
    Is there some option that is missing from Native Client connection string which can cause this different behaviour?

    Hello,
    I don't think there is a difference in the behavior. SSMS uses ADO.NET and that Provider base on the Native Client.
    The difference will be more that way, when the transaction is commited and so the locks released. I guess your application keeps the transaction (much) longer open; you should commit a transaction as soon as possible to avoid long time locks and so
    deadlocks.

  • Daily backup on Ms sql server management  studio (MS sql 2005).

    I wander how to perform daily backup on Ms sql server management  studio (MS sql 2005).
    In sql server  Entereprise manager (MS sql 2000) I had no problem to shedule.
    But now I do not find this option

    Hi
    Please follow these steps in SQL Server Management Studio in SQL Server 2005 and <b>award points</b>
    1. Start SQL Server Management Studio.
    2. In the Connect to Server dialog box, click the appropriate values in the Server type list, in the Server name list, and in the Authentication list. 
    3. Click Connect.
    4. In Object Explorer, expand Databases.
    5. Right-click the database that you want to back up, click Tasks, and then click Back Up.
    6. In the Back Up Database - DatabaseName dialog box, type the name of the backup set in the Name box, and then click Add under Destination.
    7. In the Select Backup Destination dialog box, type a path and a file name in the Destinations on disk box, and then click OK.
    8. In the Script list, click Script Action to Job.

    Note To verify the backup job, expand SQL Server Agent, and then expand Jobs. When you do this, the SQL Server Agent service must be running.

  • Can not connect the database via query string (C#). The SQL Server Management Studio is showing the full path of a location instead of database name.

    I can not connect to the database via C#. The database is showing full path of the database file instead of the database name. See the pic: a database showing only name 'emart' and the other database showing the full path.
    : Robby

    Hi,
    According to your post, I know that the database name is showing file path of the database rather than the database name in SQL Server Management Studio. You were not able to
    establish a connection to the database using C#.
    As Olaf said, was any error message thrown out when the connection failed? How did you create these databases?
    You can use the following T-SQL to attach the database and see if the issue persists.
    CREATE DATABASE
    databasename
        ON (FILENAME = 'filepath _Data.mdf'),
        (FILENAME = 'filepath_Log.ldf')
    FOR ATTACH;

  • Error Message from Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio

    I have problem editing the views that I created.  I never have this problem before and I don't know if
    I have touched something on the pane that alters my viewing on Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.  For example, if I want to edit the top 200 rows of my view called dbo.sl_admission_reg9, it will give me this error:
    Invalid prefix of suffix characters (MS Viual Database Tools).
    Please help.
    Thank you very much.
    Sally

    Are you trying to edit the top 200 rows of a SQL Server 2012 database using the 2008 R2 SQL Server Management
    Stud? If so you just need to upgrade SQL Server Management Studio to 2012 or edit the rows using a SQL query.

  • Impossible to open .dtproje file after re-installing SQL Server Management Studio

    Hi all,
    today, after re-installing SQL Server Management Studio from a package downloaded from MS web site (SQLManagementStudio_x64_FRA.exe), I tried to open a SSIS package file via Visual Studio and I get a message stating that  this type of project (.dtproj)
    is not supported.
    Here are the events that lead to this problem:
    We have SQL Server 2005 installed on a server and are planning to migrate to SQL Server 2012.
    1 - Earlier this year, to solve a problem that we had with the SSMS client, we installed SSMS 2012 client on my station.
    At this point, it worked fine for SSMS and when I tried to access SSIS it converted the packages  to SSIS 2012 and it worked fine too.
    2 - Yesterday, I tried to access SSMS and I had the message that the test period had expired; at this point I could open a SSIS file.
    3 - To solve the problem with SSMS we decided to re-install it. It worked fine for SSMS but now I am not able to open a SSIS file.
    Do you have any idea of what the problem is and what should I do to solve it?
    It seems that there are some SSIS component missing, how could I get them back?

    You are welcome Sylviep,
    Based on what I see you want to create BI projects (e.g. a SSIS project), thus it will be enough to install SSDT
    which is part of the SQL Server installation media. I do not see why you would re-install SQL Server itself.
