Hi there,
m/MSDN/Sho wPost.aspx ?PostID=72 5530& SiteI D=1
SQL Server scalar user defined functions must be called using 2 part names. You will see this error if you attempt to call the functions using a 1 part name. Can you check if that is the problem ?
So if your function name is "function1" and is defined in the dbo schema, then instead of
"select function1()" you should call it as "select dbo.function1()"
