I have a desktop XP Professional, and a Laptop using XP Professional. I
have a SQL database I want to Merge Replacate to-from.

Can it be done? Or do you have to have SQL Server 2000/2003?

The reason I'm asking is that I try to setup replication, and it keeps
failing because of Access Rights issues and I am wondering if you have to
setup a domain before it will work.

Its not clear to me that you have SQL Server installed. Do you?

Replication is problematic on workstations which are part of a work group as
opposed to a domain due to the 5 user connection limit. To get it to work
issue a net stop workstation, and then a net start workstation and
immediately try to run your replication job.
