I have a transactional replication setup between two servers, it has been running smoothly for a few months now. But I went to add a couple of columns to an article and it continuosly fails now. This is the error message:

Too many arguments were supplied for procedure sp_MSupd_repl_doctor_b

I have investigated this error and since removed the fields but I still get this error. I have even removed the reference to this procedure in the article properties but I still get the same problem.... any ideas??

Deselect that specific article replication. After making changes on the publishing table. re-select the article replication with option drop and recreate the table at the subscriber. I belive this will work.

For some reason I cannot deselect the article. Could the reason be that I am replicating to a SQL 7 database?

No. I don't think so. The article can be deselected only when the subscriber is not active. Remove the Subscriber and try again, hope this will solve the problem.
