Answer 1

This may be an edge case but if in your object definition you are also documenting the object (we do, anyway...) using sp_addextendedproperty you can also get this error if you have stated an incorrect object type - which can happen if copy & pasting. The "unresolved reference to object" error makes sense here when you think about it.

For example the following will recreate the error as the level1type should be 'PROCEDURE' and not 'FUNCTION'.

EXEC sp_addextendedproperty
  @name = N'MS_Description',
  @value = N'Description of the stored procedure...',
  @level0type = N'SCHEMA',
  @level0name = N'dbo',
  @level1type = FUNCTION',
  @level1name = N'spMyStoredProcedureName'
