MS SQL Server Merge Replication

[Mahmoud KHEBAISA]

Hi, I have two databases on MS. SQL Server 200 the first one is the
main DB and the second one is a replica of it, both of them in
different territories .I connect them using merge replication just
when I need to merge the data.

The problem is when I make import data or export data from any
location (MS access ,MS SQL server ) to the second one (subscriber DB)
or the main DB(publisher and distributor ) ,the imported data does
not replicated to the other DB ???

Normal transaction replicated smoothly.

I hope you can help me.

Thanks in advance.

You might want to post this in microsoft.public.sqlserver.replication
to get a better answer. You should probably also mention exactly how
you are importing the data which are not replicated, eg. DTS, bcp.exe,
a custom tool etc.
