Hi,

I am trying to test a replication or at least get the feel for it on my local copy before I set it up on the real server.

Can I do that by setting my local database as the publisher as well as the subscriber?

I am getting an error message but I am wondering if there are any settings I can change to make this work. Or any other ideas of how to see the replication tool before actually doing it live?

Error message:
"Server 'MyComputerName' is neither a Publisher nor a Distributor, or you do not have permission to access replication functionality on this server.

I might add that I am not only new to the project but also new to MS SQL Server.

Thank you!
