I found 1 column which is Read-Only and it is not identity field

How can I change it to not Read Only using the SQL Server 2005 Management
application
Thank you,
Samuel

There is no such thing as a "read-only" column attribute in SQL Server. Possible reasons why you
cannot modify a column value for a row includes:

Permissions
Computed column

If you provide us with the error message from SQL Server, we might be able to get closer to the
reason...

It is probably a computed column or you are using a VIEW.  You need to
get to the base table and have the proper permissions.
