Publication Problem

Hello,
I want to Create Publication with the Wizard but i always have a great
problem: After i click on okay on the Specify Snapshot Folder i always get
the following error:
"SQL Server Enterprise Manager could not retrieve information about the
Distributor of the database. Error 1038: Cannot use empty object or column
names. Use a single space if necessary."
And when i click on okay and the "Choose Publication Database" screen
appears i cannnot choose any database because in there do not appear any
databases.
What went wrong here?
Can anybody please help me here?
regards
patrick
PS: When i want to create a new Table for a Database a similar error occurs:
An unexpected error happened during this operation.
[Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 42000) - Cannot use empty object or
column names. Use a single space if necessary.
Maybe this could help to explain me what went wrong in my Enterprise Manager
that the Publication does not work correctly?
Hello,
I installed the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 on my machine once more and
fortunately the Publicaten worked. I did it like it is quoted in your posted
doc-file and on this
<a
href=http://msdn.microsoft.com/SQL/SQLCE/default.aspx?pull=/msdnmag/issues/03/09/datapoints/default.aspx> ReplicationExample
site, because i want to go through the sample of this site.
But it were to good to be true if all would be work, when i deploy the
sample application from this site on the Emulator and presses the
Synch-Button of the application, the following error occurs in a message box
on the display:
Error #1 of 1
Error Code: -2147012867
Message: A request to send data to the computer running IIS has failed. For
more information, see HRESULT.[,,,,]
Minor Err.: 28037
Source: Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Windows CE Edition.
Do know what went wrong here or do i have forgotten anything during the
Create Virtual Directory Wizard or the Publication Wizard or anything else?
Hopefully you are willing to help me again, because i do not simply look
through it.
regards
patrick
PS: I did all as i quoted it in the previous posting and once more my IIS,
SQL Server 2000 and VS.NET are all on the same machine.
