                                            | Hi,We have an existing merged replication schema that works well. One of the tables is named audit. Currently this is a bidirectional transfer. However, we want a new audit table that will transfer data from the subscriber to the publisher and not the other way round. I have a script that was generated as a backup script when replication was first created. I have no idea which parameter to change in order to have the merge replication going from subscriber to publisher. Any advise is helpful. Thanks. |  |

                                          | Couldn't you just remove the object from merge replication and then use transactional replication for it?Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/Database maintenance routines:http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/archive/2004/07/02/1705.aspx |

                                          | Hi Tara,Thanks for your advise. We already have two other publications that are using merged replication and those are functioning extremely well. Now could I add this new audit table(with my requirement) as a transactional publication? That means both merged and transactional publication will work in unison? Please let me know. Thanks Regards. |

                                          | I've never done it, but I don't see any reason why that wouldn't be possible.  That's the whole point of transactional replication, to be able to do one-way replication from one database to another.Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/Database maintenance routines:http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/archive/2004/07/02/1705.aspx |

                                          | Thanks Tara for your help. I will try transactional on top of merge replication. Regards. |
