It seems Microsoft has done a great job disabling keys when you have a DTS package open in SQL server 2005 and it sounds like they don't want us to be making any changes while we have it open - which is fine, however, my dilemma is that I can not continue typing my query in the query editor, well I can but restricted to certain keyboard keys. They should have only disable the keys when the DTS designer has focus not when its open.
