I have merge replication setup to "Continuously" update the subscriber, Is there a way I can undo this setting and schedule it or do I have to re-create the subscription again in order to schedule?

You can just change the schedule in SQL Server Agent jobs.

I have always had to re-create. When I wanted to alter a Table.

If someone has a better way I would Shure like to hear about it.

Yeah but he's not modifying the tables, just doesn't want it continuous. It's just a job schedule thing.

Sorry Jumped to the wrong conclusion.

I found a way to add or drop fields.

But if its in Replication you cannot change a field.

Add a new column
UPDATE SET NewCol = OrigCol
RENAME OrigCol => UNUSED
RENAME NewCol => OrigCol

Assuming that this works [untested] it will play merry hell with the organsiation of the data in the pages, but might do as a stopgap until the next big
CREATE TEMPTABLE ...
INSERT INTO TEMPTABLE ELSE * FROM MyTable
DROP MyTable
sp_RENAME TEMPTABLE, MyTable
