Problem with Index Tuning Wizard

When running the Index Tuning Wizard (ITW) on our SQL Server we got a
error message : 'Could not complete cursor operation because the table
schema changed after the cursor was declared'
The ITW was used only to advice new indexes. I know that it creates
hypothetical indexes in the sysindexes table, but what are the changes
in the user-tables ?
How do you use the ITW without interfering with the real
schema-definitions ?
thanks,
RobbertHi,
Before using the ITW, you should get a load of the queries
you are running. You can capture the events in profiler
and then use that load file for the ITW to use.

someone in your tream made a change to the structure a
table, which caused it to get an error.
I have run ITW a number of times using our Production
Database, with no problems.
