Column level permissions

Hi Kevin,

There was a problem with column-level permissions in version 3.1. The
symptom of the bug was an index out of range error, but I suppose there
could be different side-effects depending on the circumstances. If you
haven't got the latest version, 3.1.5, then by all means check for updates
and see if it has been fixed. If you've already got 3.1.5, please get back
to us.

Regards,

    Hi Kevin,

    Would it be possible for you to send us a SQL script of the tables,
    including the permissions, by generating a SQL script in Enterprise Manager?
    Please send it to support@red-gate.com.

    Thanks!
