I get...

quote:

Database diagram support objects cannot be installed because this database does not have a valid owner. To continue, first use the Files page of the Database Properties dialog box or the ALTER AUTHORIZATION statement to set the database owner to a valid login, then add the data diagram support objects



Well the owner is set to 'sa' but I keep getting the same message when I click on the diagrams folder. Any ideas?

Cheers, XF.

Maybe it has something to do with the db being a SQL Server 2000 instance attached to 2005 Management Studio.....

In SQL Server Management Studio do the following:

1)Right Click on your database, choose properties
2)Goto the Options Page
3)In the Dropdown at right labeled "Compatibility Level" choose "SQL Server 2005(90)"

and then:

ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON DATABASE::dbname TO valid_login
