Indirect replication between partials and farm has been working fine
for 2 years. I now see the following message in the synchronizer log
on 1 partial database.

Reason = An error occurred while using this member in the replica set
Reason = UNKNOWN REASON (-1601)

The farm is on an NT4. Clients are on Windows 2000.
I'm using Microsoft Replication Manager v4.0.

Does anyone know what this error means?

Thanks

Well, -1601 is a Jet internal error that means "The key was not found in any
record". For synchronization this usually means a query in replication
system tables (since they are the only tables which are queried during a
sync that can cause an error when something is expected but not found).

You can look at MSysReplicas in one (or better yet all!) of the farm members
and see if the replica in question was marked as removed for some reason --
if it was then it would explain the error.
