Identity Not for Replication

Hi,
I am beginner in replication, I use a merge type replication
I have a Publisher on a Sql2000 Server
I have a Distributor on an other Sql2000 Server
And I have subscriber with laptop
I use a pull subscription
My question is I f my database have 1000 tables and I use only 60 tables in
my replication
Do I have to use Not for replication on all Identity column of the 60 tables
or all the 100 tables?
Thank in advance!
You only need to use it on the ones which are truly bi-directional, or where
the inserts will occur on both sides between syncs. For example if all of
your inserts occur on your publisher you will not need it. To be on the safe
side I would put it everywhere.
