| Easiest way, I think, is to make the change in Enterprise Manager Table Designer, and then press the "Script the changes" button (which gives you a script you can cut&paste) and then abandon making the changes in E.M.This will give you a script which takes care of foreign keys, data conversion, and all sorts of other thorny issues!Kristen |

| "where do i find the script changes button as you suggested pls?"Third icon from the left, tooltip = "Save change script" - looks like an old fashion scroll & a floppy disk.Kristen |

| alter table UM_TB_Personalter column lastname nvarchar(50) nullI belive that approach has consequences for leaving some "crud" in the table, which can lead to inefficiencies, but if its a small table I don't suppose it will make any odds!Kristen |
