You click on the green arrow. (Or press F5 or CTRL/E.) Then it will
run the query which is the window.

I strongly encourage you to get acquianted with Query Analyzer to
run your queries. What you have in Enterprise Manager is a query
designer, and a fairly limited one as testified about the bogus message
about the FROM clause not being supported.

In Query Analyzer you are only limited by what SQL Server permits; the
tool itself does not limit you.
