        Hello,
 
I had to change a column's length to accommodate a very long last name.  
The table contained a computed column that concatenated the first and 
last name.  To change the last name's length, I had to delete the 
expression on the column that did the concatenation. Now, I can't put it 
back.  When I do, the table refuses to save. Am I missing something?
 
thanks!

   Make sure the length of the computed column is at least the same as the 
total length of the two columns. Also make sure the concatenated column name 
isn’t in any other table if so the length has to be the same.

        Using your column name 
LIST COLUMN ComputedColumnName
You just might have it in a reporting table
If that is so, then alter table xxx DROP ComputtedColumnName until you have one 
instance, then ALTER TABLE yyy ALTER COLUMN ….
ALTER TABLE xxx ADD ComputedColumnName …
