Try

SELECT field1, field2

FROM dbname.dbo.table1;

SELECT [Country], [RegistrationPlatform]

FROM [AristoSlotsDW.Staging].[dbo].[Players]

I press on the SELECT button. in the select dialog box default db is MASTER I change it to the relevant db for my application but dont see any table.

In testing this, I found that I must specify the database name as part of the CONNECT statement in order to be able to view tables in the Select dialog.

Initial Catalog=AdventureWorksLT2008R2;

This can be specified in the Connect dialog. If I don't specify it, I can switch to it in the Select Dialog, but the table list will be empty. Accepted as a bug or not? Check with support.
