Merge replication Option

Hi
I am looking for a way to avoid the option of 'Yes initialize the Schema and
the data' (which I suspect is the source of some problems) when I create a
new subscription
Thank you,
Samuel
Its no problem to do this with named subscriptions in merge replication.

|||What you are referring to is a nosync initialization. I have a couple of
articles on this that will hopefully help a bit:
