Consider the following scenario. In Microsoft SQL Server 2000, you configure a "merge replication" publisher. Then, you configure a subscriber in SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition. Next, you insert some records into an article on the subscriber, and then you lose the network connectivity. In this scenario, you receive the following error message:After you reconnect, you synchronize the data, and then you update the records that you previously inserted on the subscriber. When you synchronize the data again, you find that the data on the publisher does not match the data on the subscriber.

Note This problem does not occur if you configure the merge replication in SQL Server 2005.

This problem occurs because the lineage for the row that is being updated is not correctly synchronized between the publisher and the subscriber.
