Merge replication

[Pipo]

Hi,

I've spend a couple of days now trying to get the Merge replication working
on SQL server 2003.
I also searched the internet but it still doesnt work :-(
The SQL server help didnt help also.
(It says to look at samples but I dont have those on my machine...can I
maybe donwload those samples anywhere?)

Does anyone know where I can get a good tutorial or good site wich explains
(in simple words) how to get this working?
(I tried the step by step explample from Codeproject.com but I couldnt
figure that one out (maybe also because it's written for SQL server 2000?))

I also need the do's and donts and why I should use the merge replication or
not.

Many many thanks,

Are you talking about the beta of SQL 2005? There is no such product as SQL
Server 2003.

It's SQL server version 8.0

Are you talking about the beta of SQL 2005? There is no such product as
SQL Server 2003.

This doesn't sound like an ADO.NET issue. You should ask in the SQL Server
newsgroup.

Hi Kevin,

Well, I dont get any replication...
The first screen of the where I have to set the login (codeproject.com) ...
I cant find that screen.....

But most of all the replication doesnt work...no added-deleted-updated
records is seen in the subcribers.......

Using merge replication isn't the same as making a menu selection from any
ole' program. There's enough to know there to write a good book on the
subject, but in any event you need to be able to work reasonably comfortably
within SQL Server. There are only about 2 gurus on the subject in the whole
world, so you are best advised to check out
microsoft.public.sqlserver.replication.
