Barry;
We never did put together bi-directional replication, but in our single directional case we ended up making any DDL changes on BOTH systems.

Process:

Stop Replication on selected object
Make changes on Primary
Make changes on Secondary
Make changes to replication objects
Restart Replication.

We have just set up advanced replication in our lab (bi-directional) And it seems to be working .
I am confused by how replication should handle ddl changes Does replication have to be turned off before executing ddl changes (such as add column , drop column rename table etc)

I guess I don't understand why ddl changes won't break replication.

thanks
Barry
