Sql-server – view the MSSQL connection string from within SQL Server Management Studio

sql serversql-server-2005

I'm using SQL 2005, and was helping someone debug a connection issue today. I thought that I could view my current connection string from inside SQL Management Studio, but can't seem to figure out how to make it happen.

Is this possible? Google hunting has been fruitless.

Thanks!

You can't view your current SQL Management Studio connection string from within SQL Management Studio.

You could whip up your own connection string pretty quickly using the same details as when connecting to your SQL instance. Here's a resource with examples which might be helpful: http://www.connectionstrings.com/sql-server-2005

Hopefully I understood your question correctly...?
