Cannot insert duplicate key row in object

i am trying to replicate a database in SQL 2000 using transactional
replication and on one of the tables, i recieve the following error
Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'F98611' with unique index
'F98611_PK'.
(Source: JDEBACKUP (Data source); Error number: 2601)
------
Function sequence error
(Source: JDEBACKUP (ODBC); Error number: S1010)
------
Can anyone tell me what i need to do to have replication succeed, i am not
very knowledgable of SQL as i am a network admin,...so if you could explain
in basic terms i would greatly appreciate...you can email me at
malejandro@.armadillohomes.com
Thanks in advance
Mark,
this is because the subscriber has been treated in a read-write fashion, and
this needs to be explored to ensure it doesn't recur and to check the
differences between publisher and subscriber data. To get things up and
going though, you can add 2601 to the SkipErrors parameter of the
distribution agent profile and restart it.

|||Paul,
thank you i have gone ahead and added 2601 to skiperrors in the distribution
profile. what do you mean by the 'subscriber has been treated in a readwrite
fashion' . i know what the subscriber is, but the rest is a little foreign to
me. I greatly appreciate your help and knowledge

for normal transactional replication, there is an implication that the
subscriber is read-only. If users start adding, deleting or updating data on
the subscriber in this type of replication, that can mess things up for when
data from the publisher is synchronized, as you have seen. If the subscriber
needs to be changed directly, normally a different subscription model is
chosen - immediate updating subscribers or queued updating subscribers.

|||Ok, got that, but nobody is accessing the subscriber, we are using it for
failover purposes, Ive tried transactional and snapshot. Both fail at the
same table...
i have even tried to delete the table and have the snapshot recreate it, but
i get the same result.

in the name comflicts section of the article properties, is it set to drop
the table if it exists? It should be, but perhaps in this case it isn't.
Also, have a look at this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;813494 which may be
relevant.

Yes, it was set to 'drop the existing table and recreate it'. anything else
i can look into?

unless the article helps, I'm almost out of ideas
In your situation, I'd remove the publication and delete the table then
recreate the publication. I'd enable logging
(http://support.microsoft.com/?id=312292) then run the distribution agent to
see at what stage things go wrong (if they do in this case).

I have had the exact same error when by mistake, i put the same table in
two different publications to the same subscriber db.
You need to right click each publication and look at the articles in
it. Make sure no publication has the same table in it.
select * from sysobjects where replinfo <>0 will give you a list of
replicated tables but not if they are in two different publications.
