Hello, is there a way to change the size of the tabs in SQL server managment studio? Right now it will display 3 tabs at a time I would like it to show more. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks

in SSMS,, look under Tools > Options.. it should be somewhere under there.. .

Yep tried that, changed it under All Languages/Tab Size. Changed that, and it doesn't change anything. I can't figure out why?

Do you mean the tabs along the top of the SSMS main window? As far as I know you can't control the width or visible number of tables except to adjust the width of (or remove) any of the panes on the right or left side (like object explorer, properties, solution explorer, etc.)

If you have Management Studio for 2008 R2, there's an option under Text Editor to choose the text that appears on the tab, but that's all the control it gives you.
