Very Computer

Using the client network utility, we set up an alias for
each office so we could connect successfully.  I was able
to get merge replication set up, or so it seemed, and
attempted a sync knowing ahead of time that there were
many differences in the database between each office.  The
sync came up dry with no data being merged and no errors
being reported.  I took the following steps:

1) Forced a validation with checksum and record count
2) Forced a new snapshot
3) Forced a new resync among the locations

This brought no results of data transfer among the
participating offices.  I have removed replication from
the boxes three times trying to get a different result  
but to no avail reach the same result.  I need help and I
need it fast!!!!

Please e-mail me with questions or suggestions at

In Replication, any modifications done after the replication has been setup
will be replicated. If the databases were out of sync to begin with, they
will not be synced up first, unless, you take one database as the publishing
database, create a snapshot out of it and all the other databases are
applied with this snapshot.
