Hi

Once i am running that program it is giving an error.

Can anyone suggest me how to configure SQL server2000 database with this application.

I am very new in MS platform.

I'm not exactly sure what it is you're trying to do, but if you want to set up replication using Enterprise Manager (are these the tools you're referring to?) then you should start by reading Replication topic in Books Online.sql
