Work just upgraded us developers to SQL Server Management Studio 2008. Developing in the test database I’m often quickly creating tables or modifying tables through Enterprise Manager. Once I was upgraded to 2008 I kept getting this error:
Saving changes is not permitted. The changes that you have made require the following tables to be dropped and re-created. You have either made changes to a table that can’t be re-created or enabled the option Prevent saving changes that require the table to be re-created.
I looked through the options but I could not find it. I can never find the option I’m looking for in MS products. A quick Google search showed me that it was right there all along. For anyone else that is blind and can’t navigate the menus you can turn this off here:
Tools->Options->Designers->Table and Database Designers->Prevent Saving changes that require table re-creation.
