publisher, is this right?|||Although this is not quite obvious from the following article, I think SQL
Server 2005 Express can act as a subscriber in a SQL 2000 replication (where
either the Publisher or the Distributer are SQL Sever 2000).

I'm not certain.

http://milambda.blogspot.com/|||aahh - I see it depends on the type of replication.
transactional it's fine:
"A read-only Subscriber to a transactional publication can be any
version within two versions of the Publisher version. For example: a
SQL Server version 7.0 Publisher running can have SQL Server 2005
Subscribers; and a SQL Server 2005 Publisher can have SQL Server
version 7.0 Subscribers."
but merge it isn't
"A Subscriber to a merge publication can be any version less than or
equal to the Publisher version."
