In SQL 2000 / Query Analyser, i used to be able to drag-n-drop T-SQL script files from Windows Explorer onto Query Analyser.

Cannot do the same in SQL 2008 / Management Studio ?

I can obviously do:
File / Open / File…
Navigate to the file
Then Open it.

But someone please tell me there is an easier way just like in 2000 !

EDIT 16/7/10: Finally got to try on home PC, works as expected. Workplace has some restrictions (NT user policies) on a/c login. With Query Analyser, i ‘Run As’ another a/c and drag-drop works under logged-in user; With Management Studio, i ‘Run As’ another a/c and drag-drop does not work under logged-in user.

    This works fine for me?

    It’s possible that this is some sort of permissions issue – if you are running Management Studio under any sort of elevated permissions then I believe Windows will prevent drag and drop operations.
