We have 3 identical databases in 3 different locations,housed in identical servers.Using transactional replication I get this error message;"Cannot insert a non-null value into a timestamp column.Use insert w/a column list or w/a default of Null for a timestamp column." How can I avoid this problem?

are you experiencing the same problem?

if yes, the message means that you are not allowed to replicate a non-null (with value) to a timestamp data type...

db1-->db2-->db3
val1-->null-->null

do not propagate val1 because timestamp is created upon insert/update of the row, follow the advice on the error message...
