Can not drop merge replication.

Hi, i have a publisher running sql server 2000 sp3. I have
configured a merge replication with two push
subscriptions. I need to delete the subscriptions and the
publication but when i try to do it, i get this error:
Error 207: invalid column name 'enabled_for_syncmgr'
I'll really appreciate your help because i need to remove
replication from this database.
Regards,
Maria,
try running sp_helpsubscription @.publication = 'publication' , @.article =
'article'.
For each one found, run sp_dropmergesubscription, then drop the publication.
If it errors, please state at which point, and any relevant data from
sp_helpsubscription.
Regards,

|||Thanks a lot for your help. Yesterday i tryed to disable
this database for merge publications and it displays the
same error.
After that I execute the procedure you recommend me. Today
I found that the database is not configured for
replication but i still see the publication and
subscriptions in the replication monitor. The snapshot and
the subscriptions are failed displaying:
"The 'databasename' database is not published for merge
replication. "
And the subscribers displays:
"Publication 'publicationname' does not exists. The step
fails."
If i try to delete the publication diplays this error:
"Error: 21776. [SQL-DMO]The name 'publicationname' was not
found in the mergepublications collation..."
What should I do to delete the publication and subscribers
from the replication monitor?
Thanks a lot for your help.

if you're lucky, this database is not needed to be used for replication as a publisher or subscriber. In this case you can run
sp_removedbreplication 'dbname'.
If not, then I'd script out what you need, remove what you can using hte replication interface in EM, then run the script above because there are some corrupted system table records which are better removed. Subsequently you can readd your scripts. Depend
ing on your replication you may be able to resume replication without reinitializing the data. Anyway, hopefully this is academic and you can simply run the command above on its own.
