Failure to create first Replicated Database (SQL Mobile/SQL Server 2005) / Err 28627

Hi,

I'm trying to get my first replication going, and I have set up a database successfully, along with merge replication, however when I attempt to create the first subscriber, I get a permissions issue, regardless of what I do. In the SQLCESA30.LOG file, I get the following entries:

2006/01/07 16:59:36 Hr=00000000 SQLCESA30.DLL loaded 0
2006/01/07 16:59:58 Hr=80004005 ERR:OpenDB failed getting pub version 28627

I posted the initial thread under the "Replication" forum, but am including this 'pointer' post here due to a lack of replies there, and the relevance of this thread to this forum. Please see http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=193693&SiteID=1 for more details.

Thanks.

I've managed to solve this. It was a Network Protcol issue. I ensured

that Named Pipes was the only protocol being used on the machine for

both client and server protocols, and created an Alias for my machine

with the same name as the computer. Refer to my post for details: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=194457&SiteID=1
