I go to a table and then choose DESIGN.

I make some changes, I don't save them, and I change my mind and want to abandon them. How do I do that?

I have tried closing the DESIGN window, using REFRESH on the Table, and on the DATABASE, and even closing the connection and reopening it ... but when I click DESIGN on that table the changes are still there (marked as "New" and waiting for me to save them).

I don't want to close SSMS as I have other panes containing unfinished work.

Any way to get SSMS to re-align the DESIGN window with the actual, underlying, table?

Hmmm ... checked the version in Help : About and I get this:

Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 10.0.1600.22 ((SQL_PreRelease).080709-1414 )

I am running this on the server itself, which was a clean install about 6 months ago ...

I just tested on Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 10.50.1600.1
And if I'm in design mode and close the design pane I get the option to to save or not. Once I specify no and design the table again the changes have been disregarded.
Could be a version issue.

Thanks. I'll ditch the other panes and upgrade it then.
