at the 'specify articles" on the wizard. Some tables have a key next to it that doesn't let me select them to be replicated. This is happens on transactional replication. But if i do a snapshot, the keys next to the tables are not there.

How am I able to select those tables with a key?

Do they have a primary key?

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

I dont know about Snapshot replication but for Transactional, you can only replicate tables which have a PK.

Show us the DDL for a couple of the tables that you are having this issue for. Make sure to include all constraints and indexes in the DDL statements.

im using the wizard to do it.

transaction replication doesnt let you replicate table with primary key.

No, transactional replication requires pkey. Double check in table properties page.

So you aren't going to post the DDL for your tables, the ones you are trying to replicate but can't?
