How to set ANSI_NULLS on on a existing table?

Hi,
I was trying to create an index on the indexed view, when I got this
error
Msg 1935 : Cannot create index.Object 'tablename' was created with the
following SET option off: ANSI_NULLS.
Is there anyway inside the database to set ANSI_NULLS on for the
existing table?
Thanks a lot for your help.

You'll need to recreate the table with SET ANSI_NULL ON.
Hope this helps.

Were your tables created with ANSI_NULLS OFF by design or due to
ignorance? Unfortunately, ignorance is the usual reason. Take care
always to have ANSI_NULLS set to ON when creating tables or other
objects.
Note that Enterprise Manager defaults to ANSI_NULLS OFF when it's
installed. Those people who create tables with Enterprise Manager often
forget to change that setting first. Your procs and other objects may
suffer the same problem if you create them in EM. The smartest option
is to avoid EM altogether. Don't use EM to create objects.

Whenever possible please post enough code to reproduce your problem.
Including CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements usually helps.
State what version of SQL Server you are using and specify the content
of any error messages.
