| You might want to upgrade that to SP4 for a start, SP3 is no longer supported. |

| Do you mean user databases, or the databases that SQL Server ships with (master, msdb, tempdb)? There is a setting in EM somewhere to hide system objects. Can the database(s) be used by the user within Query Analyzer? |

| User databases, EM says no objects found under the databases tab, interestingly I can see the database and tables in query analyser in the tree view and by querying them |

| Since you can see them in Query Analyzer, that leads me to believe the problem is in EM itself. Problems with EM are pretty hard to troubleshoot, and generally end up with "remove and reinstall" as the solution. Is this the only workstation having this problem? |

| well what is now really confuses me is whichever machine I access the server with (using different users in each case) and in each case EM fails and query analyser succedes |
