Cannot remove table from Publication

I am trying to remove a table from a Publication because I want to modify it.
I am going to the Articles tab in the Publication Properties dialog.
However, the checkbox is disabled, probably because the snapshot has run.
How can I modify the table or remove it from the Publication so that it can
be modified?
Environment:
Win2k3
Sql Server 2000
Merge Replication with ce devices
try sp_dropmergearticle

|||I gave it a try. Here's the result from the query analyzer:
Cannot drop article 'AppRoles' from publication 'TB_Tracker' because its
snapshot has been run and this publication could have active subscriptions.

Cannot Modify tables after Replication Switched off

If you run:
select replinfo from sysobjects
where name = 'yourtablename'
What comes back? If there is a 1, then update it to 0. If
it's not a 1 then I'll have a rethink!

In Enterprise manager: Check "Allow modifications to be made directly to the
system catalogs" under Tools ->SQL Server Configuration Properties ->Server
Settings.

If I get the error message that ad hoc updates to sysobjects is not
configured, how do I change that parameter.
Thanks.

Cannot modify data

Hi,
Sometimes when I try to modify data in enterprise manager, I get this error:
Key column information is insufficient or incorrect.
Too many rows were affected by
How can I solve this problem?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi
There are a few issue with modifying data in EM, this seems to be that the
row you are changing can not be distinguished i.e it does not have a Primary
Key. Query analyser is usually a better tool to do larger or more complex
updates.

the previous poster suggests, change it using an update statement.
