My setup is as follows:

2 Windows 2000 Professional edition (SP1) running MSSqlServer 7.0 SP3. I am trying to setup snapshot replication with immediate updation.

Initial snapshot goes through fine and the subscriber database is populated with data from from the publisher database.

But when I open a transferred database on the subscriber machine and update a table row, I get the message 'Login failed for user 'sa''.

I tried running the sp_link_publication, but no avail. Both the SQLServers have their own passwords.

Whenever I remove the passwords on the both the machines for sa the replication is successful from both the ends.

Is there any reason why I am not able to do replication from the subscriber if there is a password on the SQLServer user 'sa'?

I am able to create linked servers from both publisher and subcriber SQLServer installations and it works fine.

thanks,

J Maruti"
