Hi,

I have transactional replication set up on on of our MS SQL 2000 (SP4)
Std Edition database server

Because of an unfortunate scenario, I had to restore one of the
publication databases. I scripted the replication module and dropped
the publication first. Then did a full restore.

When I try to set up the replication thru the script, it created the
publication with the following error message

Server: Msg 2714, Level 16, State 5, Procedure SYNC_FCR To
GPRPTS_GL00100, Line 1
There is already an object named 'SYNC_FCR To GPRPTS_GL00100' in the
database.

It seems the previous replication has set up these system views
SYNC_FCR To GPRPTS_GL00100. And I have tried dropping the replication
module again to see if it drops the views but it didn't.

The replication fails with some wired error & complains about this
views when I try to run the synch..

I even tried running the sp_removedbreplication to drop the
replication module, but the views do not seem to disappear.

My question is how do I remove these system views or how do I make the
replication work without using these views or create new views.. Why
is this creating those system views in the first place?

I would appreciate if anyone can me fix this issue. Please feel
free to let me know if any additional information or scripts needed.

Thanks in advance..

Regards,
Aravin Rajendra.
