Have you tried stopping and restarting the replication agent?

Can you connect from SSMS on one server to the other? Or with a Linked Server/OpenRowset just to verify there's no network...

You can use staging tables, or partitioning, if your edition supports it. Partitioning sounds like what you are thinking of.

When you looked through the data, do you mean in SSMS? Or did you query something like LEN()?

Never been to a GenCon or Comicon. Would like to give it a try if one comes close.

Yes, always looking for them.

PO_Date = i.PO_Date,

PurchaseCostCenter = i.PurchaseCostCenter,

HeatTicketNumber...

Do you have an asterisk in your code? I thought you were using the to mark the place you were writing about.

No asterisks needed in your code.

What's the error? If it's an ambiguous column, you need to specify from which table (The base one or INSERTED) you are specifying in the WHERE clause.

Sorry, wasn't reading well. The problem is that you have a malformed UPDATE statement.

No effect. The extensions have no bearing on the files' purpose or use. They are set to mdf/ndf/ldf only for convention.

I had a line on a job in Kabul. 35% "danger" pay. Not sure it's worth it, though that car looks nice.

That should work.

I assume when you attach, you are attaching the MDF/LDF and new NDF at the same time.
