Save (Not Permitted) Dialog Box
The Save (Not Permitted) dialog box warns you that saving changes is not permitted because the changes you have made require the listed tables to be dropped and re-created.
The following actions might require a table to be re-created:
Adding a new column to the middle of the table
Dropping a column
Changing column nullability
Changing the order of the columns
Changing the data type of a column
To change this option, on the Tools menu, click Options, expand Designers, and then click Table and Database Designers. Select or clear the Prevent saving changes that require the table to be re-created check box.
CAUTION - don't disable this option in a production environment
This option is enabled by default for a good reason!$0
$0
e.g. if you are using filestream all your data will be lost. $0
During re-creation the SQL Server Management Studio forgets to add the filestream attribute.$0
That means the link between the varbinary column and the stored files is lost.$0
$0
There some more situations that can cause a loss of data.$0
You should consider using Transact SQL for such changes. $0
At least in a production environment!

What about the data?
I just want to know if dropping/recreating the table will destroy the data inside of it

Repercussions?
What are the reprecussions to unchecking this box, other than being able to change tables? Is this setting Server or Database dependent? Why would one want to check or uncheck this box?

Maybe put the solution in the error message...?
So we don't have to waste 5 minutes using Google for Microsoft developer support.... just a thought.

Tips and notes
Don't try the "Save Text File" from the dialog that says "Saving changes is not permitted." That will give a file like this:
/*
Saturday, March 05, 20117:46:13 AM
User:
Server: IRONMAN
Database: LightSwitchTest
Application:
*/
USERS
which is useless (and note to the MS QA team, put a space after the year before the time).
And, don't try to generate the script from the right click "Generate Change Script..." You will get the same blocking dialog.
DO change the option from the Tools menu BEFORE closing your table and you will be able to save your changes.
I hope this helps someone in the future.

Saved me, too!
I added a ton of columns in the designer, then went to save my work, and was horrified!
Thanks for not requiring me to go back and do it all over!

for SEO reasons: Saving changes is not permitted. The changes you have made ...
In Oracle Enterprise Manager Console, in Sessions, you can see all SessionId, and you can Kill them with a right click.
It will be nice to have the same Session Browser in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio,
in order to kill transactios that are locking resources (MSSQLSERVER_1222 ; like forsaken locks after a failed Oracle SQL*Plus COPY command...)

Data is safe.
It doesn't destroy your data. Or at least it didn't mine. Of course do a backup before hand.
