I have a database configured for transactional replication. It seems that there are frequent schema changes on one of the subscribers. Suddenly, I start getting some DB related errors on the application's client UI (that I use). Upon investigation, I found that the schema of some of the table(s) in the subscriber has changed.

Is there a way to find out what is causing this change?

Thank you.

You could create DDL triggers on the table which would help you to capture details of who is causing the changes. But the presence of DDL triggers may have an impact on performance of db. How frequently does changes happen on your tables?

Thank you for the input. It occurs with tables at random. Atleast that's what I found in the last 3 occurences.

DDL triggers are not supported in SQL 2000. If your subscribers changes often , you can add column and reinitialize subscriber.
