Merge Replication Conflict Problem

exec sp_helpmergeconflictrows @.conflict_table = 'CMCustomer'

Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

Invalid column name 'origin_datasource_id'.

When I run the "Microsoft Replication Conflict View" I am prompted to pick a table. Here are the details of the error message I receive.

===================================

CMCustomer is neither a DataColumn nor a DataRelation for table summary. (System.Data)

Program Location:

at System.Data.DataRowView.get_Item(String property)
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.ConflictViewer.ViewerForm.GetWinnerSQL(DataRow loserRow, Boolean blockFetch)
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.ConflictViewer.ViewerForm.GetSourceRow()
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.ConflictViewer.ViewerForm.FillDetailData()
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.ConflictViewer.ViewerForm.FillDetail()
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.ConflictViewer.ViewerForm.summaryInfoGrid_SelectionChanged(Object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs args)
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.Grid.GridControl.OnSelectionChanged(BlockOfCellsCollection selectedCells)
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.Grid.GridControl.SelectedCellsInternal(BlockOfCellsCollection col, Boolean bSet)
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.Grid.GridControl.set_SelectedCells(BlockOfCellsCollection value)
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.ConflictViewer.ViewerForm.ResetSummaryGrid()
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.ConflictViewer.ViewerForm.LoadConflict()

When I try to "Remove" then conflict (Conflict type - "4(Update/Delete, Update wins)") I receive the following...

===================================

Column 'CMCustomer' does not belong to table summary. (System.Data)

Program Location:

at System.Data.DataRow.GetDataColumn(String columnName)
at System.Data.DataRow.get_Item(String columnName)
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.ConflictViewer.ViewerForm.SetLogInfo(DataRow logRow, String sql)
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.ConflictViewer.ViewerForm.btnClearUpper_Click(Object sender, EventArgs eg)

Grant,

Please let me know if my assumptions are incorrect:

I believe CMCustomer is a rowguid column.

This column was added by the user and snapshot did not add this.

This happens on delete conflicts.

If these are correct, then it is a known issue and should be fixed in SP2.

Yes, CMCustomer is the rowguidcol of the CMCustomer table.

"This column was added by the user and snapshot did not add this." Are you saying the column metadata changed at some point?

|||No, what I am saying is when you created the table with this column and it was of type uniqueidentifier and it was designated as the rowguidcol. In case such a column does not exist in the table, snapshot agent will add one and name it as a rowguid. The bug happens because the name is not rowguid and UI was trying to find a column with this name.|||Ok. Thanks.
