In trying to add 3 new articles to an existing publication, I'm
encountering a small problem. Namely, after the snapshot is generated
for these articles, the distribution agent doesn't seem to pick it
up. As such, the new articles don't show up at the subscriber. As
far as I can tell, the new articles have all the same options as
existing ones.

One other thing that I found odd. In the course of trying to
troubleshoot, I tried dropping the articles. I dropped the
subscriptions, but when I go to call sp_droparticle, it says that
there are still subscribers. The syssubscribers table doesn't show
any subscribers to these articles.

Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

These could be virtual subscriptions which you are seeing.

Did you do a sp_refreshsubscriptions to update your publication for these
new articles, and did you add them to the subscribers?

Sorry for not getting back to this sooner...I've been head down in the
muck. To answer your question, I don't think that these articles
would have had virtual subscriptions since the publication that they
were a member of was set to immediate_sync=off and
allow_annonymous=off. Unfortunately, I had to drop and re-add the
publication to get it working, so I can't say for sure. Thanks for
your reply!

OK - but for future reference you could also have solved it by adding the
articles and data manually to the subscribers (SSIS/DTS) and scripting in
the replication stored procedures - the distribution agent would have picked
them up and propagated changes.
