that's unfortunate. Thanks for replying. I've been wondering about that for a while, but didn't find any threads anywhere on the shortcuts. cheers
You're welcome. As an additional demonstration, in any query window, try the following 2 sqls.
sp_help syscolumns -- works fine without the quotes, even though sp_help takes an nvarchar parameter.
sp_help sys.syscolumns -- this gives "Incorrect syntax near '.'."
