invalud column name error in merge replication

sql server replication: i have done merge replication on this machine many times. This time
(like other tiems) i completely removed and disabled replication on the
publisher/distributor using EM, and deleted replication on the
subscriber using sp_removedbreplication.

I recreated replication and when i do the push new subscription, i
receive a message invalid column rowguidcol. This error appears right
after the connecting to subscriber message, and it doesn't tell me the
table name.

I have run select name from syscolumns where name like '%rowguidcol%'
and there aren't any columns anywhere named rowguidcol.

HELP.

Both machines have SQL 2000 SP4 loaded and distributor is Windows 2000
and subscriber is Windows 2003 R2.

The snapshot runs fine with no errors or messages.

I have figured out the issue. One new table didn't have a rowguid
column. What is iratating is that SQL didn't tell me which one. It would
have been nice if the error had said the table name.

Oh well - live and learn.

I had and i couldn't find the table name that was causing the error.
Luckily i had only added 4 tables to the replication and i knew the 4
and so i only had to look at those few.
