    can somebody help me here? the snapshot agent fails with the message "Failed to read column data".

  • Have you applied the latest service pack for 2005, etc?  What version of 2005 are you running?  Are you able to give us any further details about your server, the publication, etc?  Cheers

  • it's running on Windows server 2003 with SP1. The server is SQL 2005 Enterprise Edison.  I am replicating the database to SQL 2000 and it's transcation replication. I deleted one of the huge table from my articles and it worked fine but it doesn't work when i include that table into the publication.  The table has over 20M rows.

  • You could try applying the SQL Server 2005 Service Pack.  Also ensure your SQL 2000 server is at SP4.
