sql server invalid object name - but tables are listed in SSMS tables list

Ctrl + Shift + R refreshes intellisense in management studio 2008 as well.

Make sure that the selected DB is the one where the table is. I was running the Script on Master. In my case, I had to switch to hr_db.

Rookie mistake but, could help someone.

Try:

Edit -> IntelliSense -> Refresh Local Cache

This should refresh the data cached by Intellisense to provide typeahead support and pre-execution error detection.

NOTE: Your cursor must be in the query editor for the IntelliSense menu to be visible.
