    I am trying to use the alter schema statement on a table with this name:

    ABC\genn.smith.itemresults

    with this statement

    ALTER SCHEMA dbo TRANSFER ABC\genn.smith.itemresults

    and I get this error:

    Incorrect syntax near '\'.

    What does that mean? How can I change the schema to dbo lif the schema is ABC\genn.smit?

    Thank you.

    I am a little confused about what is the table name and what is the schema but you need to wrap your table name in []

    I think you said the current schema is ABC\genn.smit.

    That would mean the syntax for this would be:

    ALTER SCHEMA dbo TRANSFER [ABC\genn.smith].itemresults

    I have not used ALTER SCHEMA like this, but after reading up on it and testing it in a sandbox database, I would agree with Sean.
