When I try to open a table I get this error:

You might not have permission to perform this operation, or the object <tablename> might no longer exist in the database. (MS Visual Database Tools)

This happened suddenly. I used to be able to open and edit all tables. I get this message for any table that I try to open.

Have you tried refreshing, restarting?
What havens if you run a select query?
Has someone changed permissions?


==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.

I've tried everything I can think of. I can run any query that I want (which is what I'm doing, but it is a painful way to make a simple change or two). It seems like the permissions have been changed by an update or something, but I can't find anyone else with the same problem and I seem to have full permission on what I need.

Do you have VIEW DEFINITION permission at the database level or VIEW ANY DEFINITION at the SQL Server level?
