I have a problem with publications on a SQL Server 2000. I have a database called DTAD and this contains a publication of the same name. This is an old process and I no longer require it. However, when I try to delete it SQL Enterprise Manager freezes and remains in a 'Not Responding' state indefinately.
I have manually deleted ALL the merge jobs associated with this publication but I cannot delete the snapshot job. When I try to perform any operation on this job in Enterprise Manager, I receive the error
where xxxxx is a long hex number
I've even tried stopping the SQLServerAgent service and then deleting the publication but the same thing happens. Any ideas?
