  1. For some reason, my column that was designated as a "char" type is now listed as a "text" type inside my MS SQL2000 database, and I cannot change it back to "char" type when going to Edit that particular column. The error I get:




    Error -2147217900





    Cannot alter column 'state' because it is 'text'.


    ALTER TABLE [DB_292589_ufcpp].[dbo].[county_details] ALTER COLUMN [state] CHAR(2) NULL


    ..it seems this just happened all of a sudden by itself (??)
