I know Trent you saw one instance where I was going from INT to BIGINT on a PK field and said you would look into it.

I have had a few more instances where changes would not take correctly.

On two occassions I was able to get the changes to publish by saving the package as a seperate step, closing and reopening DDT, then publishing.

On a few other occasions I had to undo my changes, or in one instance when I tried to remove the PK field (experiment) without first deleting the index referencing it I had to pretty much rebuilt the table.

Once you got me going with the framework, I sailed through all the tutorials and an sold on the value of the framework. The reliability of the DDT concerns me, please let me know if i am doing somthing procedurally wrong to cause these update issues.
