    Hi Pinal Dave,

    When i try to upgrade sql server 2000 (sp4) to In SQL Server 2005 with SP2.

    I got the following error message, I have merge replication with 815 articles published for one publication.

    The maximum number of articles allowed in a merge publication is 246.

    Is this error fixed on SQL 2005 SP3 ?

    Can you please confirm me.

    Thanks
