I am using SQL Server 7....

If i have a database that is being transactionally replicated and i want to add a new field to one of the tables being replicated is there a way to remove only the table i want to add the field to - then add the new field - then put that table back into the replication. OR do i have to stop/restart the whole replication process just to add one new field to one of the tables ?

I know you could do it in SQL 6.5 but it seems to have been removed in SQL 7 or am i missing something ?

many thanks
Paul

you are not missing anything :(

you've got to drop the publication to do this, and that's a pain.

SQL 2K will get yo uout of jail.
