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.

I am having problems saving documents back to SharePoint when any of the document properties (metadata columns) are set to be "managed metadata". The check-in/save fails with error:

I have seen similar threads that suggest this is a known issue with this version of Acrobat but I would like conformation from Adobe that this is a known issue and whether it is fixed in a newer version?

Hi quodd,,
We are sorry for the issue being faced by you. I need some information from you so that I take further steps:
1. Which Adobe product are you using Acrobat or Adobe reader- what is the complete version?
2. How are you opening and saving the PDF, the exact workflow?
Are you doing it from within Adobe Reader/Acrobat application or opening it from browser, doing changes and saving it using browser itself.
3. Can you try to save a PDF to library with Custom template and managed metadata columns using browser directly.
4. Please verify that columns name do not contain spaces or some other special characters.
Can you try to save PDF to library with Custom template and just a single managed metadata column with a simple name
Thanks,
Nikhil Gupta

thank you,
I downloaded updates and installed manually, had to mess around a bit.
Start the updater from the program first, then install from the download.
Also, moved plugins that are for Premier from common plugins directory,
to the Premier plugins directory. Stopped the error I got launching After Effects
that said to reinstall the plugins.

I had to do this because I was getting the same error message you're getting.

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;
Thanks.

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.

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.

Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio

Dear Sir,
Where can I download Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
to be used with SQL Server 2012 Express using windows 8.1?
I have tried /www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29062
But the available download for 64 bits is Microsoft SQL server management Studio 2008.
When I try to install it I get an error of incompatibility with w8.1.
Regards,
Hector Rovira

Hi HRovira,
According to your description, before you install SQL Server on a computer that is running Windows 8.1 , as other post, you must apply SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 or a later update. For installing SQL Server 2012, you should enable .NET Framework 3.5,
There is detail about how to install SQL Server 2012 on Windows 8.1, you can review the following article.
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/47548d/how-to-install-sql-server-2012-on-windows-8-1/
To obtain SQL Server 2012 SP1, go to the following Microsoft website:

Problem to create "New Database Diagram" in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio for SQL Server 2012 SQL Express

Hi,
I have installed SQL Server 2012 Express edition (name of installation media: en_sql_server_2012_express_edition_with_advanced_services_x64.exe) from MSDN and I have installed the application on my pc with Windows 7 Exterprise.
Everything is working fine except when I am trying to create "New Database Diagram", where I recieve following error message:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt. (Microsoft.VisualStudio.OLE.Interop)
BUTTONS:
OK
I have tried two times to reinstall SQL Server 2012 Express and I have installed Cumulative Update #3 for SQL Server 2012 and restarted the machine, but I have still the same problem with the same error message.
Installed the following fixes:
1) 2012_RTM_DAC_CU3_2723749_11_0_2332_x64
2) SQLServer2012_RTM_CU3_2723749_11_0_2332_x64
These files was installed successful.
How can I solve the problem?
BR
Jan Nilsson

Hi Jan,
Have you installed Visual Studio in your machine?
The problem seems to be related to installing and uninstalling the VS 2011 RC0 program.
The workaround involves copying the files from another PC with SQL 2008 or 2012 from one machine to another. Just replace this folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\MSDesigners8

Can I use Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio version 11.0 to write SQL queries for "SQL Server Compact 4.0 Local Database"

Hi, Can I use Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio version 11.0 to write SQL queries for "SQL Server Compact 4.0 Local Database" ?
When I use Connect Object Explorer, the "Connect to Server" dialog box which pops up has only 4 selections in the Server Type Drop Down List. They are Database Engine, Analysis Services, Reporting Services & Integration Services. I have read
somewhere that there should be a compact database option. but I do not see it.
What I would like to do is use free form SQL Queries against the tables in "SQL Server Compact 4.0 Local Database" .
Once I have validated these queries, then I will use them in my Visual Studio 2012 C#, ASP.NET application. I created the Local Database using Visual Studio 2012 for use by my application.
Thank you for your help..

Hello,
With SSMS 2005 we have had the Option to work with SQL CE database files, but not with higher Version of SSMS.
You can use the free SQL CE Toolbax instead; see

Create Sequence command doesn't work on my MSSMS-Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 11.0.2100.60

Hi!
For some reason Create Sequence command doens't work on my Management Studtio version mentioned above.
Please advise, thanks

What counts is not the SQL Server Management Studio level, but the release level of the SQL Server you are connected to and the the compatibility of the database you are connected to. Run
Select name, ServerProperty('ProductVersion') As ProductVersion, compatibility_level
From master.sys.databases
Where database_id = DB_ID()
Product Version should show as 11.<something> or higher. compatability_level should show as 110 or higher. If either of those values are lower, then that is your problem.
