Hello Paul,
thanks for the reply. But in our case, opening any special ports like
1433 for SQL server is out of question. I guess there must be another way
out.
Nor can we afford to have VPN connectivity.
regards
Narendra

you'll need the SQL Server TCP/IP port to be open.
In SQL Server 2005 you can do merge replication over
HTTPS and it is quite simple to set up, but there is no
such thing in SQL Server 2000 (unless you are using CE),
and no file-based solution.
