Why do I have problems revoking permissions on some tables with SQL Server? The command works ok, but the users still have permissions (as shown by sp_helprotect) This is a known bug in SQL Server with tables that have 8n-1 columns. I.e. 7, 15, 22 etc. To workaround it remove all entries from sysprotects and then re-grant permissions as necessary.     use <dbname>     go     exec sp_configure 'allow updates',1     go     reconfigure with override     go     delete sysprotects where id = object_id('<tblname>')     go     exec sp_configure 'allow updates',0     go     reconfigure with override     go
