sql server replication:
I have two servers in different domains (W2k and one in NT). The Publisher
and Distribution server are the same server in Dallas(NT). The subscriber
server is in London (w2k). Some of the tables need to be updateable from
London, others are read only and Snapshot replication works for them. For
the updateable, I set them up as transaction replication with both immediate
and queued updating by the subscriber. Replication for all tables works as
expected from Dallas to London, but on the updatable tables, I get an ODBC
error that it can't log into the sa account. The sa account has the same
password on both ends. Both are set up for Windows and SQL authentication.

What am I doing wrong.

Thanks, I had found that article, and also thought that was the answer, but
alas, it did not solve the problem.

I have tried to set the logins in the remote, and the linked servers to all
be the sa account. I thought I got everywhere, but obviously something is
missing. Is it possible that it is not trying to long on a SQL account, but
a Windows account, or that the publisher/distributor is expecting a Windows
account. I am sure from the error message it is trying to logon to the sa
account, but if that is not what the publisher/distributor is expecting,
then it is obviously not a match.

Is there somewhere I can turn up the logging level to get more detail in the
SQL or Event logs?
