Hello,
Harry Half wit here!!
I know that snapshot replication is the simplest form of syncing with SQL server and I can't even figure that out today!!.
I keep getting myself confused as to who should be configured to be a publisher, distibutor or subscriber etc etc.
My scenario is simple:
1 server creating a daily snapshot of a table and then 1 remote laptop (msde) pulls the snapshot into it's own database.
Heres what i did so far;
I configured the server to be a publisher and distributor (is that right?) and didn't set up any subscribers because i want to do that from my remote.
From the remote I did nothing but go into EM tools\"create new pull subscription" but I cannot see the publication on the server.

SHould I set my remote to be a distributor to do this?

any help very much appreciated!!

I think I have finally done it!! Taken me all day though.

I have now figure i do not need to set my remote as a distributor.
