Replication error - can not retrieve column information

does anyone have an idea of what generally could be wrong with a pull merge subscription when it errors out with the following:
sql server The merge process could not retrieve column information for table "tablename"
Also, could you tell me where I can get more details of errors (i.e. where the errorlog for replication is located
I found how to output the merge agent errors. Here is the output. Can anyone shed any light on this?
