When I tried to create a new table in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) 2014, I encountered the following error:
I checked the SQL Server version using the select @@version command.
I found out that it was 2019, which is different from the SSMS 2014. The error message appeared because the SQL Server version and SSMS version were not compatible.
The SSMS version can be found by clicking on HELP ABOUT in the menu.
I downloaded and installed SQL Server 2019 SSMS.
The problem was solved. I was then able to successfully open create new table window.
