I have read that article before and don't think it's related to my problem.
because the errors come and go and not related to a particular record in the
table either.

Sorry that I don't know a lot more than this. However, it is interesting
that you are running as 'sa', which I would interpret to mean you are using
Method 2 to try to work around the problem. Method 1 is to use a domain
account that has admin permissions on your server. (Interestingly, both
workarounds are "not recommended" by Microsoft.)
Anyway, have you tried the Method 1 workaround? Did it change things at
all?
You mention that the errors come and go. Do you have any idea of whether
something else in your security landscape is changing?

does a table exist?

Does anyone know if you can check if an object (eg a table) exists. I am
having trouble with procs that drop tables before creating them. Other users
get the message, "cannot drop table tblTest ... doesn't exist in the system
catalog".
I need to do something like,
If tblTest exists
Drop tblTest
...
then recreate the table

Say I want to check if table "Departments" exists (from the "Generate
SQL Scripts" option in Enterprise Manager):
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects
where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[Departments]')
and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
drop table [dbo].[Departments]
Just substitute your table name (and owner [dbo]?) for Departments.
