When I try to return all rows from a view or table by selecting Open Table|Return All Rows from the context menu, I get a dialog in the middle of EM stating:

An unexpected error happened during this operation.

[MS Visual Database Tools] - The parameter is incorrect.

Any ideas

This could be due to the Enterprise Manager trying to return too many rows that the client machine unable to cope up, you might try from a query analyzer to list the rows which is a recommended way. Also you can test on another machine to see whether it reproduces the same, also apply the recommended service pack to client tools too.

This does occur on more than one machine. What is the recommended service pack for the client tools I don't recall seeing a service pack for the client tools, just sql server. I'm already patched to sp4.

Yes you need to have service pack on client tools, that helps too.

I do on all of my client tools too without any issues.
