Rebuild dependancy Information - Microsoft SQL Server

Is it possible to rebuild dependancy information for objects in a database?

I can hardly ever DTS a database across to another server because
something will fail with the message "invalid object name
<name_of_a_view>". This happend to me just now on a database with just
12 tables and 4 views. What hope for my other databases with 100s of views?

Can you be more specific about what is happening when the error occurs? At
first glance, it doesn't seem like a dependency issue, but rather that the
view doesn't exist. Are you using the DTS Copy Database task? I'm not 100%
sure, but I believe it detaches, copies and attaches the database, so
missing objects should be unlikely.

Also, if you always copy the entire database, you might want to consider
backup/restore instead of DTS.

The view exists, definately.

From EM, export data... Copy objects and data between SQL Server databases.
Also, if you always copy the entire database, you might want to consider
backup/restore instead of DTS.

That's what I have to resort to usually. I would like to achieve the
same result with one step if possible.

Have you applied the latest servicepack? There are a number of KB articles
which may describe this:
