Hi All,I have an existing publication and I want to add one table to it, without regenerating snapshot for all the article. I read in some article that I should use "sp_changearticle" after adding table to the publisher. But dont know how to use it.Also checked BOL but nothing much clear from there.Can anybdy help? I am using SQL server 2005 with SP2.RegardsSachin |

In SQL 2005, It creates only snapshot for the added article. Make sure you add article and start snapshot agent. you should be good. |

I am using SQL Server 2005.When I right click publication and go to properties, I see tabs with name General, Article, Filter row, Snapshot, FTPSnapshot, Subscription Option, Publication Access List, and Agent Security.Am I on the right screen?I cannot see any option to start snapshot agent.Don't sit back because of failure. It will come back to check if you still available. -- Binu |
