I've installed SP4 on 2 servers, and left SP3a on 2 other servers. I haven't had to do anything at the client, nor have I had any other problems or...

Is it a pull subscription running at the subscriber ?   I just modify the SQL agent job on the subscriber to use email notification when the job fails

Sounds as though the snapshot job at the publisher has never run, so it can't be sent to the subscriber.

The most frequent setting for a SQL job is every minute, but if you choose a "contimuosly updating" subscriber, then the SQL job is "never ending" so it's running all the...

If you don't want a snapshot applied at the subscriber, just choose "schema & data already exist".  The Stored procs are used afterwards to apply published transactions to the subscriber. ...

Are you talking about spring or fall ??  I think both are going to be adjusted, but by different amounts.

Could you explain a bit more ?  Which logs ??  The distribution database can grow large, based on your retention period setting.

Phil, what do you mean by " .. Also, the minimum interval for replication is 1 one minute."

If you choose a continuosly updating subscriber, then latency is only a few...

Your hardware and communication will have some impact, so you can't get an exact answer here. I wonder how you could measure it ?   Perhaps set up a test replication,...

Is that table in the same publication as other tables, or is it in its own publication ?  Are other tables missing data ?  Did you create the publication, but...

Could you explain ?  I don't quite follow what your problem & solution are ?   Where's the bulk insert flag ?

If I understand you correctly, than these comments come to mind:

" ... Recreates snapshot daily at 4 am. ..."

If you're doing transactional replication, you only need to run the snapshot...

I did this with good results when I needed to change the length of a field in a replicated table. -- Specifically: Drop a table from a publication so...
