Hi to the forum.
I am doing a merge replication within 4 servers. I have a couple tables that run into differerent publications. In one of ther servers I got the following error: "The subscription could not be initialized using an initial snapshot because one or more tables in the subscription belong to another publication, and therefore cannot be dropped" (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147200976). The others worked fine. I searched through the web looking for some advice but mostly are related to SQL Server 2000 and I have all servers on SQL Server 2005 with service pack 2.

Thanks in advance, José

looks like while initilizing, its trying to drop the subscriber table & recreate. This is not possible since, the subscriber table already belongs to another replication. Check if another publication exists on those tables. What puplication type you are using ?

Thanks,
Krishna
