pull vs push

I just inherited an application using merge replication
to pull information from the database server when the
users activates the synchronization process. When the
user is connected to the network, can I push the
subscription to the them from the server instead of
having them initiate the pull? Will pushing the
subscription to the user change the way the tables are
synchronized/updated?
Thanks

Emma,
pull vs push won't affect the data replicated. If you already have pull
agents set up, you could initiate them from the publisher if you want to
mimic a push.
