>Boy Michael, you must be a genius.
Shhhhh. Don't tell anyone
>Now, I would be even more impressed if you knew the idiot who changed this setting on my database. Thanks!
From the BOL:
"Only the DBO, members of the sysadmin fixed server role, and the db_owner fixed database role (if the database whose compatibility level is to be changed is the current database) can execute this procedure."
So your "idiot" is someone who has this permission in the database or on the server.
