Has anyone had any luck getting intellisense in SSMS 2008 to work when connecting to a SQL Server 2012 (SP1) instance?
For me, it appears that this is not working.
Whilst I would consider upgrading to SSMS 2008 R2 (if intellisense works there against a 2012 instance), unfortunately I can’t upgrade to SSMS 2012 at the moment.
I’m using SSMS 2008R2, and when I connect to my 2012 instance, I have intellisense working (as SSMS 2008R2 replaces SSMS 2008, I can’t test the other way!)
In options -> Text editor -> All languages -> “Auto list members” is ticked.
Screenshot showing intellisense working (you can see in the object explorer this is a 2012 instance) :

Perhaps this MSDN page might help you solve this problem.
