Cannot %S_MSG the %S_MSG '%.*ls', because it does not exist or you do not have permission.

Error Message:
Msg 3701, Level 11, State 5, Line 1
Cannot %S_MSG the %S_MSG ‘%.*ls’, because it does not exist or you do not have permission.

Severity level:
11.

Description:
This error message appears when you try to execute a command for an object, that either does not exist or to which you don’t have sufficient permissions.

Consequences:
The T-SQL statement can be parsed, but causes the error at runtime.

Resolution:
Errors of the Severity Level 11 are generated by the user and can be fixed by the SQL Server user. The statement cannot be executed this way. The object must exist and you must have sufficient permissions on the object.

Versions:
All versions of SQL Server.

Example(s):
USE tempdb;
CREATE TABLE #t
(
 c1 INT PRIMARY KEY
)
GO
CREATE VIEW dbo.v#t
AS
SELECT *
  FROM #t
GO
DROP VIEW dbo.v#t
DROP TABLE #t 
GO

Remarks:
In the above example we try to create a view for a temporary table. Because this is not allowed, the view is not created. The subsequent DROP VIEW command raises the error.
