I looked one of our SQL server database in enterprise Manager, open the database properties dialogue, the OK button is disabled, I have the sysadmin role of the SQL Server, how can this happen? thanks
 
When you log into EM, is it asking you for a password?

If not, have you verified your SysAdmin SQL login is mapped to your Windows User name? That might be where the problem is.

The problem is that when you open the dialogue, the OK button will be gray, when you change any setting other than change the recovery mode by selecting one of option from combo box, the ok button is enabled, but change the recovery mode won't make this button enabled, it's like a SQL Server bug to me.
 
What database are you trying this with?

What version SQL Server?

And just to make sure we understand you....

In Enterprise Manager, you are right clicking on a database, selecting Properties, and going to the Options tab. Correct so far?

Now the confusing part, you say the OK button is disabled? What do you mean 'disabled'? Do you mean that when you change the Recovery Mode and click OK nothing changes?

If that's true, then I will guess you are trying to change the Recovery Mode of a system database. You can not change Master, TEMPDB, and I believe you can't change MSDB.

No, I mean the OK button supposed to be enabled when the user makes any change, but it seems that changing the recovery mode won't enable the OK button.
 
Now I need to verify something. In your first post, you said you have SysAdmin privledges. In the last post, you're saying "when the user makes any changes".

Is this happening for more then one user?

Have you checked the Fixed Server roles for the users in question, along with the mapping of their windows accounts? Sorry to ask this question again, but you don't say whether or not this is something you checked yet.

Lastly, it might be something going on with Enterprise Manager. Have you tried re-installing it? Only do this if you've checked the permissions issue first. Check the FAQ section of this newsgroup and you'll see where I posted one for the repair of a corrupted Enterprise Manager.

I'm not sure corrupted EM is your problem, though.

Let me try this again since you didn't answer all my questions:

1. What database is this happening with?

2. What version of SQL Server?

3. In Enterprise Manager, you are right clicking on a database, selecting Properties, and going to the Options tab. And that is where you are having the problem. Is that correct?

Following is my answer:

1. I have the sysadmin permission
2. This is SQL server 2000 enterprise edition
3. This happens with only one user database
4. Yes, it's in option tab of database properties
