Hi, Ali
Have you check if your script was successfully created? Try to open it with notepad and compare with my example on the post.

I followed the steps above but was unable to open and execute the script file – did I miss something?

If I try to open the script file in either SQL Server 2008 (on a networked Windows NT machine) or 2005 (on an un-networked laptop running Windows Vista) I get the same error message which reads:

The operation could not be completed

with no other advice.

Do you have any suggestions as to what I should try next?

Cheers, Ali

Mark, the error you are getting this as 2005 doesn’t have the data type “date” These need to be changed to datetime or another data type of 2005

Column dDate in object table1 contains type Date, which is not supported in the target server version, SQL Server 2005. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)

Hi, iami Do one of the following, then retry the command: (1) reduce the number of running programs; (2) remove unwanted files from the disk the paging file is on and restart the system; (3) check the paging file disk for an I/O error; or (4) install additional memory in your system.

I tried it and upon execution of the sql in the 2005 server I got this error:
“…Not enough storage is available to process this command”. I still have enough HD space, does the error mean the RAM? Thanks.
