Hi,
I've just restored a database on a new server and I am trying to drop a user but I'm getting this error message. Tried googling it but did not find anything.

"the database principal owns a message type in the database and cannot be dropped"

Anyone had this problem before? And any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks

Ken

You attempted to drop a user who is the creator of a message or user-defined data type. The message or user-defined data type must be dropped first.

is there anyway I can find out what message type is tied to this user? and how do I delete off this message?
