Changing the Identity Specification of an Existing Column

Asked by npl77 in SQL Server 2005

The identity specification of one of my primary key columns on an existing table is set to No. I want to set it to yes and add an Identity Seed to it. When I go to the table properties it wont let me change the value of the Identity specification from No to Yes. I dont really care about the data in the database at this point if that helps
