• SQL Server RMO ReplicationDatabase Class Can't Program Peer-to-Peer?

  Just reading the documentation on RMO programming and noticed that it is silent about peer-to-peer replication.

Hope this is the right forum to post this, since I did not find any 'Report bugs' forum ... :) Thanks, Steve Hmmm.... Maybe I will learn something here, too. I never use the IsThemeActive API call in my own code. I just call OpenThemeData and see if I get a valid or NULL handle returned. Is that "doing-it-the-wrong-way"... ...Show All
