Selecting this menu option, I am prompt to login so I click Connect to login, but I get this error when trying to run a query:
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid object name 'mytab1'.
I can query the table fine if I start with a New Query. What else do I need to do?
This is SQLServer 2005. |

| Probably because you are running the query against master database. When you make the new connection, you will be connected to the server with your default database selected, which may be master database or another database. |

| That would be it. Next question, where/how can I change the default connection? |

ALTER LOGIN loginNameHere WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE=databaseNameHere
or, if you are using SQL 2005, in SQL Management Studio, in object explorer, under server->security->logins, right click on the user name and select properties. There will be a drop down where you can change the default database. |
