Unable to modify tables in SQL Server 2008

In Sql Server 2008, you may be unable to modify tables if they require a table rebuild.  The error you get is as follows:

Saving changes is not permitted.  The changes you have made require the following table to be dropped and re-created.  You have either made changes to a table that can’t be re-created or enabled the option Prevent saving changes that require the table to be recreated.

 

In order to get around this error you have to click Tools–>Options–>Designers and uncheck the check box for Prevent saving changes that require table re-creation.
