YES I am having the same problam and by changing the compatibility level it
fixes the problem

The only problem with that is that my customers have not yet updated to SQL
2005 and I need the database to be in SQL 2000 compatibility level, and by
you saying that "you can always set it back to the orginal compatibility
level"

Do you mean that I will be able to backup and restore this database back to
my customer after that?

And what about the database diagrams will thay get deleted?

Thanks
