Cannot Drop View...

  • Hi guys,

    My replication setup is as follows:

    The publisher (SQLSPIKE) is having the publication PULLED from it by the subscriber (SQLREPORTS).  We had to make a change to the publication (removing a table that was causing all sorts of hassle) and do the following:

    Dropped the subscription

    Removed the offending article

    Readded the subscription

    Re-ran the snapshot

    The snapshot ran fine, but when we kicked off the replication task itself we got the message:

    Cannot drop view <BLAH> as it is being used by replication.

     

    Both servers are Windows 2003 and running SQL Server 2000 sp3a.

     

    Any help would be gratefully appreciated!

  • this is abnormal.

    What is the name of the view?

    Can you try to run sp_MSunmarkreplinfo against it?

  • Hi,

     

    Thanks for the help, but this appears to have resolved itself.  *shrugs*  One of those things I guess.
