identity column (SQL2K)

I HAVE A TABLE AS BELOW WITH IDENTITY COLUMN SET

CREATE TABLE FADEBTP (
  FAFYNE  CHAR     (3)      NOT NULL,
  FAEYNE  NUMERIC  (11)     IDENTITY (1, 1)      NOT NULL,

I NEED TO DROP THE IDENTIY COLUMN WHICH IS SET ON   FAEYNE

PLS WRITE A SQL SCRIPT TO DROP IT

I think you have to do this within Enterprise Manager by unchecking the IDENTITY option in the Design View of the table.
Using the ALTER TABLE...ALTER COLUMN statement doesn't appear to drop the IDENTITY option

Richardsoet - would you mind closing some of your existing questions?  Including this question, you have 10 questions open, several of which have either been answered or need your participation to continue.
I've had a search and found this: https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/20829246/Drop-Identity-of-a-column.html
(thought I'd remembered seeing this crop up before!)

Basically, you cannot simply drop the IDENTITY option. You have to create a new column, copy all the existing identity column values into this new field, drop the existing IDENTITY column and then rename the new column.

david_chiu has demostrated how you can do this with Enterprise Manager. Just look for the "Save change script" icon.

P.S. Please lose the ALL CAPS it looks like you are yelling.
