I have removed all publications and subscriptions because some tables were removed. When I open the Publisher properties the Distributor states "This server acts as it's own distributor" which is correct. It shows a page named "Publication Database" under the Select a page section. When this is selected, I receive an error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object. (Microsoft.SqlServer.WizardFramework)". When I select "OK" there are no databases listed. I do not know SQL very well, so please be precise as to what I need to do. I also notced if I select to generate scripts, I receive an error "SQL Server could not retrieve information about server 'SERVERNAME' (The servername is correct). Under "Additional Information" it states "An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)" then lists Invalid Column names.

I found the problem with the previous request, but I now have another. I was able to create the Publications properly, but when I attempt to create a subscription I raceive an error "Invalid object name 'dbo.MSmerge_Agents'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 208). I have three different publications that were created and I receive the same error on any subscriptions I attempt to create. I do not see the table in any of the databases. Is there a way to create these missing tables?
