SQL Server, you are starting to annoy me
-
Why the heck can't either SQL Server Management Studio or the VS SQL table designer print the table definition? They both show on screen exactly what I want: field name, type, size and null permitted, but print is greyed out! :mad: Why? How difficult can it be, when they will print anything else? Damn it, I'll just have to print a screen dump. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Sorry about that, I feel better now...
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together. Manfred R. Bihy: "Looks as if OP is learning resistant."
That's why the DB tool I wrote has a DESCRIBE command.

Programming is a race between programmers trying to build bigger and better idiot proof programs, and the universe trying to build bigger and better idiots, so far... the universe is winning. Be careful which toes you step on today, they might be connected to the foot that kicks your butt tomorrow. You can't scare me, I have children.

Print what's on the screen. You don't expect Word to print the document on disk, rather than the one in memory, do you?

And what if you don't save the new definition after printing?
It's no different from millions upon millions of other 'document' applications. In this case, the document is a descriptor for a data base. The user works with a document in memory: changing it, printing it, whatever. If they save it, fine; we modify the structure of the data base as they've specified. If they don't save it, so what? We did what they told us to do.
