You have to press CTRL + Space to get the "intellisense window" to pop up...
We're considering making it possible to also use ALT + Left Arrow (like you have in Visual Studio) but we are very buzy people all of us...
I have 3 other sourceforge projects where I am the sole developer on two!
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Yes, SQL Buddy did actually used to throw up the intellinsense automatically after typing a "." in a table name, for example.
This was taken out when I was re-writing a form, and really needs to go back in again at some point(at least as an optional feature).
The intellisense *is* a tricky aspect of the development, as it relies on the editor knowing about the context of the SQL statement being written (ideally we would have some kind of lexer/perser to interpret an SQL syntax tree, but a little out of my depth at the mo!)
So, it's one for the future I'm afraid, but it could be raised in importance if enough people feel it is valid. Personally, I would love to see *#!% hot intellisense in Buddy, as there are no free products that do this so far (that I'm aware of).
Once MS release there next version of VS I imagine it will have all the bells and wishes one could wish for, albeit at a price ;-)

You have put up a screenshot showing code completion in sql editor, but in last version it doesn't seem to work, or am I missing something?

Thanks, I'm used to editors which display it automatically ... nevermind.
It must be an option because it can take quite an amount of time before it shows up...
(it's basically just a select into system tables...)

Yup, but you want be able to use it in MSDE unless you pay for VS!
