SELECT TOP N Queries In SQL 7

I'm having problems executing TOP n queries on a database that was migrated from 6.5 to 7. I can get it to work on the Authors table in pubs, not in my other dbs. Here is an example:

CREATE TABLE dbo.tblsapParentCust (
Parent char (10) NOT NULL ,
Name varchar (40) NULL,
IsSoldTo bit NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
CONSTRAINT PK_tblsapParentCust PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(Parent)
)
GO

<load in some data>

SELECT TOP 10 * FROM tblsapParentCust

The select statement results in a syntax error:

Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '10'.


I can switch over to pubs and change the query to reference the Authors table, and it runs fine.

If anyone can explain this behavior to me, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Buddy
