Hi,

Thanks for your posting!

>From your descriptions, I understood that you encountered error message
"Invalid character value for cast specification"

First of all, Please know that replication issues might tend to be very
complex and hard to troubleshoot in newsgroups. I recommend that you open a
Support incident with Microsoft Product Support Services (PSS) so that a
dedicated Support Professional can work with you in a more timely and
efficient manner. If you need any help in this regard, please let me know.

For a complete list of Microsoft Product Support Services phone numbers,
please go to the following address on the World Wide Web:
http://support.microsoft.com/directory/overview.asp

Secondly, I noticed there is an Knowledge Base article that mentioned this
error message

FIX: Merge Agent may fail with an "Invalid character value for cast
specification" error message
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/867880

Note that it will be a FREE incident asking the hotfix and this hotfix has
been scheduled to be included in SP4

Thirdly, does your replication works as your expected? Is it possible for
you to provide more information about your scenario, such as how do you
create the replication. Does the same steps work well in other client? Is
is possible for you to show me a detailed description, with which I could
reproduce it on my side?

Thank you for your patience and corporation. If you have any questions or
concerns, don't hesitate to let me know. We are always here to be of
assistance!
 

Sincerely yours,

Michael Cheng
