hi

i have 2 merge replications set up, both connected to the same database on the same server (A->C and B->C). They both have exchangetye 2, so from publisher to subscriber only. When i was setting them up, i made only 1 condition in the filter (column1=1). After i tested the thing, i found out it have to add another condition to the filter - add "and column2=1". I did that in the publication properties, it accepted it with no problem. Then i ran the snapshot agent to reinitialize the replication, and i got an error 207 (Invalid column name 'columns2'...). The 2nd column DOES exsist.

But now to the weird part...
I deleted the "AND column2=1" from the filter, i retried to create a snapshot, but i still get the same error as before. It seems like the filter remained like it was there, but i am unable to see it. Whatever i add to the filter now (if i delete the whole condition, and replace it with a mikey the mouse, it would still say the same thing).

I really dont want to drop the publication and do it all again.....so any ideas would be helpful.

well, dropping the publication and reseting it worked. But i'm wondering why that happened on the first place ?

i'm running sql server 2000 with sp3a
