Need to setup replication between two databases. Any documentation available and how do I determine if it is working properly.

Thanks,
Lisa

It's pretty easy to do - depending on the type - snapshot,merge,transactional, log shipping, push, pull,...
Where do you want the distributor?
You can test it on a dev instance (or two) on your desktop. It test it by changing some data and seeing if it replicates and also by looking at the monitor.
It's useful to have a test system for changes and replicating issues.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.
