full-text replication SQL Server 2000


Full-text databases, SQL Server 2000, SQL Server replication

I'm having problems replicating a table that has full-text enabled using sql server 2000 sp4. When I start the distribution agent I get the following error:

Cannot use a CONTAINS or FREETEXT predicate on table 'dbo.proposals' because it is not full-text indexed.

I have run sp_fulltext_database 'enable' on the subscriber. What do I need to do to get this working?

thanks much for helping.

You need to manually create the full text index on the subscriber. Full text indexes are not included in replication.

Has the snapshot been deployed to the subscriber?

yes snapshot has been created and deployed. The error I get when trying to set up full-text is:
The selected table has no
unique single column index on a column that does not allow NULLS.

The publisher has an identity column defined but the subscriber does not.

I created the identity column on the subscriber and then set up the catalog definition. I tried to start the dist. agent but it failed with the same error again. Do I need to create a new snapshot or will that override my changes?

thanks for the reply

does anyone have an answer to this? I guess the question is how do I remove the full-text queries from the log so that they are not pushed to the subscriber.
