cannot update

Hi
we moved from 2000 to 2003 (version 9)
I do Open Table to see all rows
when I try to change a value say 2 to 3 in int field it pops up dialog and
say
like driver error string or binary data will be truncated
but it is an integer field and the values are like 2 and 3!
is it isolation level related perhaps
what setting is it
we just installed it so it must be default
Sincerely
GSL

This should not be an issue under normal circumstances. Have you service
packed your version of SQL 2005? Are you trying this on a client or the
server itself?
Are there any triggers on the table?

Thanks
No SPs as far as I know (how will I know?)
the table does have text column but then in sql2000 it was updatable
manually
No triggers
I do it on the server
also! when I do it in Query like regular update statement it works!
(so maybe it forces good habits nevertheless I am curious why it happens)

Select @.@.VERSION will give you the version number also SELECT
SERVERPROPTERY('ProductLevel ') will tell if a service pack has been applied
or is still at the original release (RTM). See
http://sqlserver2000.databases.aspfaq.com/how-do-i-know-which-version-of-sql-server-i-m-running.html for more.

The error message you have seems to be a SQL Server error message, if you
have the error number it would be useful. You could post DDL and example data
http://www.aspfaq.com/etiquette.asp?id=5006 to help others re-create this.
Open table in Enterprise Manager was always quirky therefore it is not
something a lot of people will use in SQL 2005 because of that.
