There is already an object named 'A2P' in the database.
Msg 1750, Level 16, State 1, Line 13
Could not create constraint or index. See previous errors.

I have looked in Views.sys.all_objects and I do not see this table there. How can I find it to correct this error?

You cannot have the same name for the table and the constraint. Change the line that reads
CONSTRAINT [A2P] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
to something like
CONSTRAINT [pk_A2P] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED

I had quickly copied from another example and missed that condition. Thanks,
