Replication - Snapshots

Hi there,
I am looking at setting up a solution that relies on replication of data to
many publications. I believe what I need is merge replication. In this
scenario, many companies will receive data from the master publication but
each company should ONLY receive information for their concern. How do I get
the replication of these 250 companies to "configurably" only receive the
data they need.
Thanks in advance
what you are describing is a filtered publication.
You have two options create a publication which filters rows based on some
hardcoded value, is SalesID=123213, or using a dynamic filter where the
publication detects some property about the subscriber and only sends rows
to that subscriber, ie hostname() or @.@.servername. Dynamic filters work best
with pull subscriptions.
The technology is called horizontal partitioning, as you are creating your
publication you will get to a dialog called Customize the Properties of the
Publication. Select Yes, and then select Horizontally, by filtering the rows
of published data. Enter a filter clause that will filter the rows so that
only the rows you want to end up on the subscriber land there.
It also sounds like what you need is transactional replication
