Invalid Object Name

    I have created the following function:

    CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[DailyActivity]

    (

    )

    RETURNS @SalesData TABLE

    (

    ...columns

    )

    AS

    BEGIN

    ...statements

    RETURN

    END

    GO

    When I try to select from the function i.e SELECT * FROM dbo.DailyActivity() the function name is underlined in red and the hover message is "Invalid Object Name". However, the statement still executes and the data is returned?! I have also tried SELECT * FROM dbo.DailyActivity but the same occurs.

    I am using SQL Server 2008 R2.

    In SSMS, select Edit | Intellisense | Refresh Local Cache

    Apparently, you built the function after opening the query window.

    Thanks Wayne, I didn't know about that IntelliSense cache 🙂
