Consider the following scenario. A Microsoft SQL Server 2005 merge publication has a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition (SQL Server Mobile) subscriber. In the merge publication, you create column filters on the articles of the publisher. In this scenario, updates to the SQL Server Mobile subscriber may not be reflected in the merge publication.

Back to the top

This problem occurs because the SQL Server Mobile subscriber does not track column version information for a vertically partitioned publication against a SQL Server subscriber.

To work around this problem, delete the column filters on the articles of the publisher.

Back to the top

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

Back to the top

The merge code on the server generates the column version information for the subscriber. Additionally, the merge code on the server calculates the absolute index for each column that is excluded. If two adjacent columns are excluded on the client, the merge code on the server may calculate the absolute index incorrectly. If the column version information that is generated is incorrect, the changes that are made to the subscriber are not propagated to the server.

This hotfix does not change SQL Server Mobile. This hotfix is a code change in the common static library in SQL Server 2005. This hotfix affects the following files:

•	Msgprox.dll
•	Replprov.dll
•	Replrec.dll
•	Xmlsub.dll

Therefore, apply this hotfix only to SQL Server 2005. After you apply this hotfix, the merge code on the server correctly calculates the absolute index of a column if two or more adjacent columns are excluded.
