Thanks a lot!

This is an approximate rowcount, depending on when SQL Server last updated
its statistics, but it's fast.
SELECT OBJECT_NAME(id), rowcnt FROM sysindexes WHERE indid IN (0, 1) ORDER
BY 1
On the output, you could just copy/paste in Query Analyzer, or set up a
command line task and redirect the output to a file e.g.
osql -E -d <dbname> -Q "SELECT ...." > TableRowCount.txt

Or if you want accurate info use this query:
exec sp_msforeachtable 'select ''?'' as tablename, count(*) as
[rowcount] from ?'
Note: if your tables are large this query will take significant amount
of time.
