Bug #: 406692 (SQLBUDT)



SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario. You have a computer that is running Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Business Intelligence Development Studio. Additionally, you never start Visual Studio 2005 before you install SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio. You open or create a project in Visual Studio 2005. In this scenario, some menu items in Visual Studio 2005 are missing.

For example, the Attach to Process and Macros commands do not appear on the Tools menu. Additionally, the Step Into command does not appear on the Debug menu.

To work around this problem, follow these steps:
 * 1) In Visual Studio 2005, click Import and Export Settings on the Tools menu. The Import and Export Settings Wizard opens.
 * 2) On the Welcome to the Import and Export Settings Wizard page, click Import selected environment settings, and then click Next.
 * 3) Follow the steps in the wizard to the Choose a Collection of Settings to Import page.
 * 4) On the Choose a Collection of Settings to Import page, select a collection of settings that you want to import, and then follow the steps in the wizard to the end.
