Simon writes "I'm trying to replicate (transaction) some tables including one that had a clustered primary key and some text columns. The error was:

"8629
Message: The query processor could not produce a query plan from the optimizer because a query cannot update a text, ntext, or image column and a clustering key at the same time."

Eventually I made the primary key non-clustered and tried again and got the following error:

"8626
Message: Only text pointers are allowed in work tables, never text, ntext, or image columns. The query processor produced a query plan that required a text, ntext, or image column in a work table."

After looking at several articles, I tried adding the "-NoTextInitOnSync" to the Distribution agent (it's not an option on the snapshot agent) but this didn't fix it.

I've just converted from merge to transactional and apparantly there was no problem when it was a Merge (before my time here).
This happens for both snapshot & distribution agent."
