Trouble with UDTs

Hi,
We are having problems with SQL Comparison due to the UDTs we have in our database. When the Block is executed, we get the following error:
Cannot drop type 'dbo.ShapeCollection' because it is currently in use.
This occurs in the following Batch:
DROP TYPE [dbo].[ShapeCollection]
All constraints and columns referencing the UDT need to be dropped before the UDT is being dropped. This is obviously not occurring.
Is there something I can do to get SQL Compare to generate a script that will successfully drop the UDT?
Thanks...

Many thanks for your post.
This is a known issue with the SQL Compare engine and is logged under reference number SC-4582.
Unfortunately, as this is an issue with the parser, I'm not sure how quickly we will be able to fix it. Any fixes to the parser touch quite a lot of code, so it probably wouldn't be safe to issue a 'quick fix' in this situation.
As a workaround though, you may be able to 'comment out' the line in the script. If you haven't got too many instances of this problem, then it might work as a temporary fix until will release a version that supports the syntax.
I have added this post to the bug report and will let you know when we have an updated version of the SQL Compare engine that supports this.
