Please run sp_changedistpublisher @publisher = *Your publisher name*,
@property = 'active', @value = 'true' at your distributor, and I will be
interested to know the details of how you set up your distributor\publisher
(2005SSMS or 2000EM, stored procs\script, any errors etc.) .

Thanks.

That did it! When the distributor was 32-bit and I setup replication
via the Management Studio, I did not have this problem.

When the distributor was reformatted and had 64-bit OS & SQL installed
and I setup replication via the Management Studio, the problem
occurred. Looks like this option is not turned on even though the
Management Studio shows that the publisher is active in the Distributor
Properties->Publishers page.

FYI,

I set up the distributor via the Management Studio, but have scripts
for the publications.

Thanks again
Morgan
