Saving not permitted ?

(using Sql Server Express 2008 and SQL Server Management Studio 2008)

Hello,

I  created a table with two colunm, types are:
- int (primary key)
- nvarchar(6) (null allowed)

I created two record (not empty)


Now it I try to:
- unchek 'Allows null'
- change nvarchar lenght from 6 to a larger number (like 7)

and try to save the table, I get the message:
"Saving changes is not permitted. The changes you have made require the following tables to be dropper and re-created ... etc."

I have a collegue who is experience with SQL 2005 and who says that such modifications should be possible, and from my own experience with other database I think it should be too. But we don't get why it's not allowed here.

Please can you help ? Thank you.
