Hi

I just restored a bak file to our SQL server Express and I need some help. For some reason, the only time a SQL statement will work is if I add the database name to the front of the table:

select * from dbname.tablename

Below will not work:
select * from tablename

Any thoughts?

probably you're running it against the wrong database. try like this

use [yourdbname]
select * from tablename

This did the trick:

sp_changeobjectowner 'userName.TableName','dbo'

Now I can run it without referencing the db name in the query.

Thanks for your help.
