  1. Is there a way to do this with SQL Server tools?
  2. If not, is there a 3rd party tool that does this?

There doesn’t seem to be a good way to edit longer text columns in the SQL Server Managers for SQL Server 2000 or 2005. While SQL Server Manager is really not for editing data in your db, what other tool does Microsoft provide that would normally allow you to do this? Every other field is pretty easy to edit, except long text fields. In Access, you could hit shift-f2 and it would pop up a nice dialog to edit your text in.

  1. Generally, SQL Management Studio is an administrative tool for your database and not meant for data entry other than a quick edit here or there. Generally you would script the data or it would be entered by an application that uses the database for persistence.

    (Although I have pointed Access to my SQL Server DB for a better quick and dirty UI.)
