Replication - Changes to Server databases impact to local database

We have a SQLSERVER database that is replicated to many users.
We are currently in an expansion phase where we need to make changes
to the server database. Each time we rollout a new release, we are
deleting the local replicating database and recreating.

Is there any way to automatically transfer the changes from the server
to existing local database without deleting?dipillama@.nswccd.navy.mil (Michael diPilla) wrote in message news:<4e67e68b.0308181234.4c8e5e98@.posting.google.com>...

It's not clear what you mean by 'changes' - changes to table
structures can be replicated if you make them through the publication
properties dialogue.

I'd suggest you post this in microsoft.public.sqlserver.replication,
as you'll probably get a better answer there.
