alter indentity field

Hi Guys,
I'm using SQL server 2000.

How do I alter column/field from type int (with Identity = Yes Not For Replication) to just normail int field. No more identity. I want it to be done using SQL script( sql query analyzer).

Please help me on this, thx

alter table table_name
alter column column_Name int not null


that should solve your problem.|||Hi Enigma,
I'd tried it before but it not work. Even query analyzer return success message "The command(s) completed successfully." but when I open the table it still the same. And the identity field still ON

Regards,
