Hyper Active Candidate Pop-up

Have been trying to use Prompt 3 since its beta release earlier this week. Used Prompt 2 for months and liked it so much I bought the 3 license site already. What I am finding with 3 is that the pop-up window is openning way too often and in places where I don't want it and don't need it. It is getting in my way and actually slowing down my coding at this point. I have now switched it to manual mode and have to do ctrl+space to get the list. This is an improvement over the issue of the candidate box appearing too frequently, but not acceptable im my book.

@ items most of the time. Other times I may want to turn on system tables, but not other system items.

overall I am disappointed. I will continue trying to work with the product, but if it stays as it does and I don't have a major change in heart I will be contacting sales to get a refund on this product.

    I have to say I agree. SQL Prompt 2 was an excellent product that needed some changes to improve things like the slow performance, but I'm not sure it need the radical interface changes we've seen with 3.

    I've only bought the one license with the view to checking it out before recommending it as "standard" issue on all our developers ans support peoples PCs. So far it will not be getting that recommendation. :(

    Alasdair.

    Another example of hyper activity.

    I am between single quotes and entering a date as a string value as follows:
    EXEC prc_RptChangeRequest '12/1/2006'
    If I pause while typing or even the brief pause when I get to the end of the string and the darn candidate box appears with no entries in it.

    I agree with Alasdair. Prompt 2 was a great product that needed a little refinement.
