Saving changes is not permitted in SQL 2008 Management Studio

When you design a table in a database and then try to make a change to a table structure that requires the table to be recreated, the Database Management Studio will not allow you to save the changes.
This is caused by a configuration setting that default results in the following dialog:


Error Screen



Solutions:

This is by design and can be quickly fixed in Management Studio by unchecking a property.
To fix this in Management Studio, go to Tools -> Options then go to the Designer Page and uncheck "Prevent saving changes that require table re-creation
