Changing a table owner

Question

I\'m trying to change the owner of a table:

sp_changeobjectowner \'OWNER.TABLENAME\', \'dbo\'

But when executing I get the error message:

If dropping the table is an option, you can drop and recreate under the desired user. Just specify dbo in the create script. For example:

USE [X]
GO

/****** Object:  Table [dbo].[TableName]    Script Date: 4/21/2014 1:26:37 PM ******/

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TableName](
    [Field1] [bigint] NOT NULL,
    [Field2] [nvarchar](50) NOT NULL,
    [Field3] [datetime] NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]

GO
