I'm using SQL Server 2005. I've created a view that pulls fields from
5 tables. One of the fields from one of the tables is called
'DivisionDesc'. At the time that the view was created, the datatype
of 'DivisionDesc' was nvarchar(30). Later, I changed the datatype of
the field in the base table to varchar(50). However, the view did not
automatically update with the new changes to the field. Is there a
way to have SSMS 'refresh' the datatypes and field sizes to reflect
any changes to the base tables?

Is this ongoing or a one time occurrence. close ssms or hit f5. where in
SSMS are you viewing this? Server mgr or the workspace?
