This error occurs when you try to use the table-designer to handle changes - it is a tool that can't handle everything SQL allows you to do...
So what you have to do is do it by some DDL (Data Definition Language) query...in you case:

SQL

ALTER TABLE myTable ADD COLUMN newColum INT NULL

ALTER TABLE help page...[^]

Ahhh...

This old chestnut rears its head once again...

In SQL Manager, select from the menu bar

Tools -> Options

Navigate down to

Designers
Table and Database Designers

Uncheck the item

"Prevent Saving Changes That Require Table Recreation"

All done...
