Replicating User Defined Data Types

Hey guys,
Thanks so much for this great newsgroup btw, helped me hugely through doing
replication via handheld units etc.
I'm running into a bit of a problem between server 2 server replication.
Both databases have user defined data types. All the tables using them are
fine, but once the snapshot is applied to the subscriber, and the replication
is hooked up to the publisher, all the data types are converted to their base
types (char 10 etc)
Is there any way to stop this? The subscriber needs to keep the user defined
data types.
I noticed in the publication wizard there is an option that says "Keep the
existing table unchanged" but the default value for this is "DROP the
existing table and re-create it" this is all under the Snapshot tab of the
article properties.
If I set it to "Keep the existing table unchanged" will that fix my problems
or is that not the proper fix for this issue?
Thanks and take care!
Simon,
on the article propertuies at the bottom there is the option to change user
defined datatypes to base types and by default this is enabled. Also, you
can add the user defined types themselves to a prescript.
