Management Studio - The Directory Name Is Invalid
Mar 3, 2008
In SQL Server 2005 Management Studio I get an error pop up that reads "The directory name is invalid."
This error occured after I installed SQL Server 2005 and added my first database. It went away when I applied all the service packs. It is now occuring again. Would this happen if the temporary files on the computer are cleaned? If so, how do I recover from this. The temp files no longer exist...
This error occurs when I right click on a table and click Open table.
I can click design and that works. But open and edit does not work.
Note: I can open, edit, etc in Visual Studio.
When I click edit I get a more detail message that reads:
===================================
The directory name is invalid.

Hi,
I'm using Database Maintenance Plans in Enterprise Manager and I'm trying to backup a database to a different server using a UNC (i.e. \servernameackupdirectory).
I have done this successfully with two SQL Servers but every time I try to set the third SQL Server to backup to a UNC I get this message:
The complete database backup directory '\servernameackupdirectory' is invalid.
The only differences that I can think of is that the server is Win2000 Advanced Server and the SQL Server is Enterprise Edn, where as the two that work are Standard Edn and are on Win2000 Servers (not Advanced).
Does anyone know why I am unable to do this on one SQL Server when I have had no trouble on the other two SQL Servers?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Troy

Is it possible to run both Sql Server Management Studio: Express and full blown side by side?
I am developing with the full blown product but would like to test Management Studio Express on the same box.
Is this possible?
Thanks

I have recently installed the SQL Server Management Studio Express but I do not find Management Tools in order to create scheduled backups and shrinking of the databases. I was under the impression that this should be included in the Management Studio. I use the SQL 2005 Express for smaller customers who run the SQL on a desktop unit. I need a way to backup the data to a server machine for backup purposes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail.

I have a database in my "App_Data" folder of my visual studio project. I can view it fine in Visual Studio's built-in tools for managing a database attached to a solution. However i recently started playing around with the SQL Server Management Studio Express program. When i attach my database to Management Studio, and try to run my program it crashes. I think it might be a permissions error?!? When i detatch it and reattach it in visual studio it runs fine again. Any suggestions? ThanksJason

I am new to visual studio and I am still not sure of all its components and features.
I installed visual studio 2005 standard edition but cannot find SQL Server Management Studio?
I guess this must be because it is not included with Visual studio 2005 standard. Is it included with VS 2005 professional?
I want to add pictures of products to my shopping site using an SQL database and I’ve been told that SQL Server Management studio is required as it is a graphical tool.
How would I go about obtaining the SQL server management studio. There seems to be different versions of SQL server that it is confusing to know which one to purchase.
Will the SQL server 2005 version that comes with Visual studio standard be sufficient for me now right? I want to create a shopping site with hundreds, perhaps even thousands of products. I want to use an SQL server 2005 database. The database will include ‘dynamically generated’ product images if that is the correct terminology.
My goodness, it seems I still have so much to learn.
Thanks

I like some of the new features in sql2005 management studio, but WHY do you have to right-click -> Modify to view the stored procedure code?
It is SO annoying, previous versions was a simple and quick-double click.
To me this is a major blunder!
Anyone else agree with me?

Hello!
What are the differences between "SQL Server 2005 Management Studio" and "SQL Server Management Studio Express"?
I have an installation of SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and can only find the Management Studio Express!?
How can I install the "not-Express-version" ?

We are use Vista X64 and SQL-Server 2005 X64 Developer Edition. We are able to connect to a sql2005 server x32 server using SQL 2005 management studio, 32-bit version. From the x64 box (vista x64 with sql x64), we are able to connect to the SQL 2005 32-bit server version using sqlcmd and telnet. But, we are having issues connecting to the 32-bit version of SQL 2005 using the x64 sql management studio GUI. I look all over the internet and the SQL BOL and I was not able to find any compatibility issues with the SQL Management Studio x64 been documented. I am thinking that the reason for the issue is because the SQL management studio is trying to connect using native x64 client drivers. If that is the case, is there another method of connecting to a x32 SQL server. I see that the only way to approach this issue is to install the 32-bit version of the SQL client tools on the x64 system. Thanks
P.S. all servers are using SQL SP2 ( no Cumulative Update 4)

How can I get sql Management Studio (2005) to use Sql Compact 3.5? It's been working fine with 3.1, but now when I upgrade my own code to use 3.5 and create a new DB then management studio says it can't open it as it's the newer version (3.5xxx and it wants 3.0xxxx)
Exact text is:
You are trying to access an older version of a SQL Server Compact Edition database. If this is a SQL Server CE 1.0 or 2.0 database, run upgrade.exe. If this is a SQL Server Compact Edition 3.0 or later database, run Compact / Repair. [ Db version = 3505053,Requested version = 3004180,File name = C:foo.sdf ] (SQL Server Compact Edition ADO.NET Data Provider)

Installed SQL 2005 standard but the management tools did not install. The admin downloaded the SSMSE (Express version) which does not allow us to manage Analysis Services. We've tried un-installing the SSMSE and then tried to install from the Client Components on the installation disc, the Management console and it doesn't install. Any ideas on how to get the full version installed? Re-installing SQL Server 2005 is not an option as it's been configured and data is now residing in databases.

I have been working this for 2 days on my XP SP2 machine, AHHHHH !!
I tried running the SQL Server 2005 Tools install, and kept getting SQL configuration checker error with WMI. What finally got me around that was installing VS 2005. {without SQL Express} Ran the tools install, but not Management Studio, only the Configuration Tools on my menu. What the heck, tried running the full install, got the database engine, but still no Management Studio.
Tried uninstalling everything, everything is gone except the database engine.
Tried re-installing, still no luck.
Tried the command line to fix the shortcut to management studio as detailed in the setup help file:
setup.exe /qb REINSTALL=SQL_WorkBench REINSTALLMODE=S
NO LUCK. This is absolutely crazy, what year is this. It's as if something the setup program see's on my machine is blocking the install of management studio.

Hi Guys,
I know my question looks very stupid but cant help. I got SQL Server 2005 Evaluation Copy along with Visual Studio 2005. I want to do some evaluation of Reporting Services. I am able to create reports from VS 2005 i.e. rdlc extension. and chaning the extension I can publish them to reporting server but I want to create reports with parameters which will be passed from UI form.
On looking some resources i can to know that I will need SQL Server Management Studio to generate RDL reports. Where can i get Management Studio? Do i need to download it or need to purchase it?
Thanks in Advance

I have SQL server 2005 developer edition installed on my machine. I was expecting something like Enterprise manager to manage databases but nothing is installed by default. Ive found SQL server management studio express and installed it, but Ive also seen references to SQL Server Management Studio. Are there any differences between the two , or are they the same and are just described differently ?? Im a bit confused, Microsoft should make this clear.

Hey everyone,
Would someone please tell me why the new SQL Server Managment Studio comes with hardly not frills? What happened to the SQL Enterprise Manager in SQL Server 2000? It had DTS, SQL Agent Job and step viewing, Cool Wizards.. All that great stuff. but with this new Sql Server Management Studio with 2005 all I can do is pretty much look at the data and write queries and create and modify tables. Am I missing something?
I did download an external tool which was called an import/export wizard but it sucks compaired to the DTS in SQL 2000.
I did notice when I open my Sql Server Management Studio "Express" that it is the Express version... Is there a difference?
Thanks for any help.
