I'm in trouble again. I want to make merge replication between SS 2000 Enterprise and SS 2005 Express edition. 2000 will be publisher, 2005 will be subscriber. In addition I want to use push subsription at 2000 side, very last thing is it will be download only (I know how to make a merge rep. downloadonly, thanks god!). That's all I want to do.

I made a little search, it seems what I want can't be done automatically, using SMO or scripts is suggested. In one of other forums I saw "distibuter>=publisher>=subsriber" (refering sql server versions). Is it an incontestable truth that I cannot make SS 2000 a publisher where SS 2005 Express is subscriber?

How can I achieve my goal, isn't there anyway to make 2000 publisher for merge replication while a 2005 Express is subscriber?

Thanks

Yes you need to run scripts for the same. Not possible through GUI.

Thanks
