Cannot Drop Table

I have a table with no dependencies. I cannot drop the table. I tried
from EM to delete it. I tried from Query Analyzer. I cannot even
delete an index that it has. It's not a big table and it only has about
6,000 rows. Any ideas where to look? Thanks.
What does "cannot" mean? Do you get an error message? If so, what is it?

More information please. Can you post the error you are seeing.
Also, grab the id for the table from sysobjects. Then, run sp_lock and
see if any other spid has a lock on the table.

|||That's part of the problem -- there is no error message -- just hangs
and I have to kill application from task manager.
