Disabled it globally! I had only disabled it for Pictures but after I got your answer I went in and turned it off globally. Don't think it will effect me but I know how to turn it back on if it does.

Chris Maunder can perform infinite recursion without overflowing the stack. The stack is too scared of Chris to even try.
Chris Maunder can fix bugs just by looking at them.
Chris Maunder can reverse a one-way hash to get the original data.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

I'm not sure if I want to call this a rant or a joke.
I'm trying to get a simple database up and running on Sql Server. I DON'T CARE WHAT VERSION. I simply cannot find the management tools entry for "Create elephanting database". It appears that over the past year, I have installed items that conflict. Fine, I'll clean it up. This is what I find in my Uninstall list - no less than 20 items related to this product. Mind you, I don't remember installing ANY of them. And my gin intake is sadly way way down.

I feel your pain, I have just finished removing all the SQL bits from my machine with the view to installing 2014, took hours. Then I ran a registry cleaner as the last time (2012) I installed SQL it bitched about express version, from VS being installed. Bloody nightmare.
Oh I got the registry cleaner from free tools recommended by Bill Woodruff, cleaned 7k+ invalid entries from the registry and I didn't even need the restore point  .
Todays exercise, install SQL 2014, I am not optimistic!

My rant has more to do with "Why do you make it so elephanting hard?"
What I have found is that I had installed various applications that made use of assorted versions of Sql Server. This is where the multitude of debris came from. Anytime I tried to remove one, I would receive an ominous warning about how something else depended on it. Finally, I just said f*** it and plowed on. And eventually, it was all removed.
So, I reinstalled 2005 (compatible with my VS 2008, yes, I know I need an upgrade), and now I am at the point of trying to connect to Sql Server via the mgt tool to create a database. Nothing gets me past an ominous message of not being able to connect....
No clues, nothing. Now, I have a good idea what I need to do, but really, it should not be this hard. I now have to stop playing and start working. Maybe next week.

2014 installed without a problem, unlike 2008/2012 which both required various tweaks to get them to work properly. I can understand using 2005, like word I have not needed any of the newer features of SQL Server for some time.
Just be thankful you are not trying to install Oracle

Amen and amen. Exactly why I am moving in that direction. Or, was, I distract easily.

With respect to his great book on unit testing -
Marc Clifton's code doesn't need to be unit tested, it's guaranteed to work even before it's written.
Whether I think I can, or think I can't, I am always bloody right!

The irony to this is, as I was reading Chuck Norris facts about Chris Maunder, I was considering replying "enough about Chris, what about me???" only to discover, two threads down...
