Hi,

In TSS it calls Database Explorer. See Tools|Options|Database|General -\> Open on  
New Connection -\> Database Explorer (see snapshot below) if you need it on each  
new connection.

Or you can also rich it from toolbar – see snapshot below.

thanks. that is what I was looking for. I reached it through the first option you provided (Tools…). The snapshot of the toolbar was missing in the post - can you provide a text hint so I can find it there as well? thanks

In regards on images - it seems to be a yahoo groups issue =( I’ve send it  
inline with email…

I see that DBExplorer is not enabled by default on Standart toolbar. See this

pic how to enable it:

Let me know if you have any issues.
