collation case sensitive

I have a vendor who is trying to apply an upgrade to our database, he is running into errors because the database collation is set to case sensitive. Is there a way to by pass the setting so he can procedd with the update scripts.
Robert,
A case sensitive TSQL script can often be made to function in case
insensitive manner by using UPPER or COLLATE. You could also change the
collation of the database if there are new tables which are set to inherit
the default collation. However I'd need to know more details to see if these
methods can help - please post back to explain further what the upgrade is
doing?.
