i am not very sure is it different as in SQL where yu can go to the database that you want and then you go to the table and then you click the right side of yur mouse and go to design table and change it

I changed it. I went to enterprise Manager and went to design view of the table and changed the data type of the field.

Thanks anyway

Thanks Wchitamb.

G'd evening!
In case you still need to change the table's column type from T-SQL , the sintax for MS SQL is:
ALTER TABLE table ALTER COLUMN column_name new_data_type
Ex.
ALTER TABLE MyTable ALTER COLUMN MyColumn NVARCHAR(20)

For more about the Alter Table sintax, read the books on line (BOL), here is the last update for SQL 2k SQL Server Books Online January 2004 Update
Good luck

1 Question... how does 1 do this for a column with the data type char if you want tot take it to decimal... gives me an error on the conversion....

"Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 1
Error converting data type varchar to numeric."

is there an additional way to write in a CONVERT for the data included in the field?
