Drop an article through EM

sql server replication:

Hi is there any way to drop an article in EM which is part of a larger
publication which contains other articles, as the article I wish to drop
appears with the tick next to it in the publications under articles but it
does not allow me to untick this which seems strange. Is this by design and
is my only choice to drop the article through using T-Sql replication commands

You have to drop active subscribers to do this.

Sammy,

it's possible but only through scripts eg:

exec sp_dropsubscription @publication = 'tTestFNames'
, @article = 'tEmployees'
, @subscriber = 'RSCOMPUTER'
, @destination_db = 'testrep'

exec sp_droparticle @publication = 'tTestFNames'
, @article = 'tEmployees'
