I'm trying a re-add 2 pull subscriptons, but I continue to get the following errors:

The snapshot for this publication has become obsolete. The snapshot agent needs to be run again before the subscription can be synchronized.

When i run the snapshot agent it says it can't find the job to run.

Any help would be appreciated.

There are two jobs, but one is "x"ed out because of the publication obsolete issue. This is pretty confusing ...

When right-click on one of my publications and explore the latest snapshot folder there is stuff in the folder from over a month ago. I thought the snapshot folder is cleaned-up routinely. So when I drop and re-add subscriptions the subscriptions are pending because the snapshot for the publication is obsolete. Is that the reason? Should I delete the snapshot folder.

I don't know what's happening here. I think it has something to do with having no activity from the subscriber(s) as I can't seem to re-add as I've done successfully many times before. Help!
