Could you clarify "auto-close"? Do you mean that you are taking these
databases offline? If you have an offline database you cannot do
certain things via SSMS until the database is "online". I don't know
about changing the behavior of SSMS for this activity, but if you tell
me what information you're trying to obtain about the databases I
could probably tell you how to do it through tSQL. There is a chance
that if you're just looking for certain db level information that you
could query the same from sysobjects/tables. If you're looking to
setup a maintenance plan for a database then I'm assuming it must be
online for this activity. Can you give a bit more information about
specifically what you're trying to accomplish?
