Hehehe. Yes I am getting an error about the license. I forget the exact error, but the agent fails due to it.Can you post the KB ID? or perhaps a link to the article?DanielSQL Server DBA |

Dan,I know you said you were in SQL 7, but if going to 2000 is an option, Microsoft says that the MSDE 2000 (Desktop Engine) can do merge replication. They also state that the 2000 Desktop Engine is NOT related to the SQL 7 Desktop Edition, for better or worse.[url]http://www.microsoft.com/sql/techinfo/development/2000/MSDE2000.asp[/url]Another quote of interest re: SQL 7 Desktop from [url]http://www.microsoft.com/SQL/evaluation/overview/70/datasheet.asp[/url]:quote:
DesktopIdentical to Server requirements with the following exceptions:- You can also run it on Windows XP, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows NT Workstation 4.0, Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Me. - Each installation of SQL Server Desktop requires a per-seat client access license for SQL Server 7.0; SQL Server Desktop will only interact with SQL Server in per-seat mode.

| yep it's gotta be per seat licensing.Then no problems with the setup you want....EXCEPT that you can't modify your database once it is published... and MSMERGECONTENTS can't be purged and it is difficult to apply a snapshot from media... and the list goes on.SQL 2000 fixes a lot of these hassles. |
