Programming SQL Express to SQL 2005 replication

Hi Everyone

I have a huge problem after I noticed that SQL Server Agent has been removed

and need your advice about how to program replication between SQL Server Express and SQL Server 2005

So far I have encountered the following problems

SNAPSHOT

1. When I created my snapshot Irealized it wasnt running. I then read from the documentation that i had to resort to the Windows Synchronization Manager as there was no SQL Server AGENT within SQL Server Express to accomplish this function

I did this and it worked but wouldlike to control this programmatically as well

REPLICATION

2. Now I have a standalone SQL Server Express which is a subsciber to the SQL Server 2005 Database

How can I force the merge replication programmatically ie Vb.NET

Your kind advice is appreciated

Regards

Touraj
