You can filter your list of tables in SQL Server Management Studio by doing the following (below).

This is especially useful if you have lots of related tables and your only interested in a particular set of them e.g. every table with "user" in the table name.

Right click on the tables folder Choose Filter > Filter settings This brings up a dialog window allowing you to choose your search criteria (only simple criteria can be user e.g. name, owner, so you cannot use OR/AND etc). After clicking enter your tables are filtered (in the example by all table names with the word "user" in them). Happy developer This example is in Sql Server Management Studio 2008 R2 (but it should work in 2005 and perhaps lower).
