IntelliSense Not Working in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio/Express 2008?

-
   There are a batch of reasons why the new IntelliSense feature of Microsoft's 2008 SQL Server Management Studio (and the Express version) doesn't work.    I'm not going to get into all of them here as there is already an article about this on Microsoft's site here .
