sql server replication: Hello

I'm currently trying to implement replication with a "Central Subscriber" approach, where every server is only using MSDE. Hence, I only have Snapshot or Merge replication to choose from. Snapshot replication seems undoable since it sends the whole snapshot every single time, instead of just new/edited/deleted rows. So my only other alternative is Merge replication.

The problem is, I don't want the central subscriber's changes (if any) to be propagated back to the Publishers. Is there any way I can stop the subscriber from doing this

Thanks

Have a look at the Books On Line under "Replication Merge Agent Utility" and
look at the -ExchangeType parameter
