What could be wrong?

Me and my colleague have the same permission to a database.
Surprisingly when she creates a file, the ownership is set to DBO, when i do likewise the ownership is 'Stats\marlon'.

why is this happenning?

thanks

she is setup at the dbo of that database... i think... check to see if you are both have the db_owner permission set on your user access to the database...

One simple way is to open Enterprise Manager, open this database and look at Users. Who is listed as dbo there?

<rant>
This has tripped me up more than one time... Assigning somebody to the db_owner database role DOES NOT mean that when they create objects the object will be owned by dbo. There's probably a good MS reason for this, but in my world it sucks!

I know, I know... they should specify dbo as the owner in the CREATE statement... I'm working on them. Education can be a slow process. Especially when the first question is "What's Query Analyzer?"
