exec sp_dropmergearticle @publication = N'RWBreathe_Publication', @article = N'Call'

hi :
i got error when i run above command
Cannot drop article 'Call' from publication 'RWBreathe_Publication'
because its snapshot has been run and this publication could have active
subscriptions.
i used merge replication , and PDA as subscriber.
Cheers
Nick
Nick,
this is one difference to transactional replication. In merge you can't drop
subscriptions then drop an article. In fact, as soon as the snapshot agent
has run, your options are limited. If you script it out then recreate it
without running the snapshot agent, you'll ba able to drop the article from
Enterprise Manager. Alternatively of course you could remove references to
the article in the script before running it.

EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION error

When I am in my publications folder and I attempt to add
a new publication, I get... 'Error 5: [SQL-DMO]Code
Execution exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION' after I
click next for the first time. If I click OK in the
error box, there are no publication databases listed.
HELP!!!!
what happens when you try to create the publication using the replication
stored procedures?
I would advise you to try to remove replication as something seems to be
hosed here. Removing and reinstalling replication frequently solves these
types of errors.
