Unable to create new table on SQL Server 2014 instance with SQL Server 2012 Management Studio

    Came across a really strange situation. I used SQL Server 2012 Management Studio to create a new table on an 2014 SQL Server instance and got this message: 'This backend version is not supported to design database diagrams or tables'. Does this mean that I have to have SQL Server 2014 Management Studio to create a table on a SQL Server 2014 instance?

    No, just that the GUI designer doesn't work up-version. Writing out and running the CREATE TABLE statement works fine
