Most of the tables are missing during compare

Hi:

I dont' know what would cause such problem, 9 out of 10 tables in the database I'm comparing are not showing up for comparison. Only the dt_property table shows up. I tried to do a comparison between the same database and it's not showing anything else. Any ideas? I even downloaded the newest version of the SQLBundle today and still did not do anything.

Thanx.

    Hello,

    The only reason that the tables would not appear is if they're marked as System-type tables. Can you check Enterprise Manager and see if your tables have been given a system type as the result of some kind of error?

    Converselt, all of the dt_* tables (exc dtproperties for some reason) should be marked as system tables and NOT show up in SQL Compare. It sounds like the tables are marked backwards: system tables marked as user tables and vice versa.

    HI Brian:

    I checked all the tables and all the ones created by us are under "user-type". dtproperties is actually marked as "system-type" along w/ all other sys..... tables.

    Any ideas? I can send you some screen shots, but I don't know how to attach files to this message board.

    Thanx.
