I have a SQL Server 2008 and I often manage it using MSSMS express installed on my machine.
Today I was on the real server and I had to change permission at column level for a table but I found the button Column Permission in table Properties-->Permissions not enabled and the Grant flag for Alter Permission is not checked.
If I look at exactly the same page on my pc I see that Alter permission for the same user and for the same table is partially granted (green square insead of check) and the button Column Permission is enabled and allow me to access to a new page to grand specific permission on columns.
These are the properties on my machine:
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 10.0.1600.22 ((SQL_PreRelease).080709-1414 )
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2000.085.1132.00 (xpsp.080413-0852)
Microsoft MSXML 2.6 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.18702
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.3603
Sistema operativo 5.1.2600

And these are those on the server:
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 10.0.4000.0
Microsoft Analysis Services Client Tools 10.0.4000.0
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 3.86.3959
Microsoft MSXML 2.6 3.0 5.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.3790.3959
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.3615
Operating System 5.2.3790

Does anybody knows why of this difference?

Thanks
Michele

If we click on the Select row, the button for Column Permissions activates.

Look for that on this page: http://www.mssqltips.com/tip.asp?tip=2124


No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die.

Ok forgive me for this stupid question...
It was because of language.
The first row in the permission list in the Italian GUI is Aggiornamento which stays for Update in English.
Being the server installed in english on the first row I find Alter which obviously doesn't have column permissions...
Clearly if I select Update everything works!

Thanks for your answer.
