adding a new column to a table involved in merge replication

Hi everyone,
I would like to know if there is some way to add a new column to an
existing table in a database published via merge replication that does
not require reinitialization of the articles.
Thanks.

Aramid,
have a look at sp_repladdcolumn in BOL. This can also be done through the
GUI in Enterprise manager. In SQL Server 2005 the same effect is achieved
directly using Alter Table statements (provided the subscriber is also SQL
2005).
