limiting database listings

Update: When I use Query Analyzer to connect, it seems to
work properly, so I believe this could be fixed from a
client standpoint.
Does anybody know of any options in Enterprise Manager
that would limit your database listings to only ones that
you own?
Or another option would even be, if anyone knows of any
Enterprise Manager replacements. Software/websites made
by other people which might not have this problem. Any
input would be much appreciated. thanks!

I feel your pain. However I spend most of my time in QA, not EM. The problem is due to the SQL-DMO library that EM is based on, because it loads all information for all databases, not just the names - thus usnig up your bandwidth. This will be "fixed" in
SQL Server 2005 ("Yukon"), in that the database access API will only load the database names, and not all other information, which will speeds things up many times.
Your best bet is to use QA. You can't filter your list. You might also want to consider using the new WebAdmin tool from Microsoft - this might speed things up for you (http://tinyurl.com/3cuzt).
