Invalid Column Name 'rowguid'. Error When Generating Snapshot For Merge Replication SQL Server 2005

Hi there,



I have setup merge replication which successfully synchronizes with a group of desktop users using SQL Compact Edition.



However now I have setup Article Filters and when I attempt to regenerate the snapshot I get the following error:



Invalid column name 'rowguid'.

Failed to generate merge replication stored procedures for article 'AssignedCriteria'.



When I look at publication properties at the Articles page.. All my tables have the rowguid uniqueidentifier successfully added to tables and selected as a compulsory published column, apart from the table above "AssignedCriteria".. Even when I attempt to select this column in the article properties page and press ok, when I come back it is deselected again. ( The Rowguid column is however physically added to the table)



I have scripted the publication SQL and then totally reinstalled from scratch, including the database but for some reason it doesn't like this table. I remove the article filters, but still this "rowguid" is never "selected" in article properties.



We are using Uniqueidentifiers in other columns as well for historical reasons, but this doesn't appear to be a problem in other tables..



DDL For this problematic table is as follows



CREATE TABLE [dbo].[AssignedCriteria](

[AssignedCriteria] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL,

[CriteriaName] [varchar](255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,

[TargetScore] [numeric](5, 0) NULL,

[HRPlan] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,

[ActualScore] [numeric](18, 0) NULL,

[Criteria] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,

[Employee] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,

[IsActive] [bit] NULL,

[addDate] [datetime] NULL,

[totalscore] [numeric](5, 0) NULL,

[isCalc] [bit] NULL,

[Weight] [decimal](18, 2) NULL,

[ProfileDetail] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,

[rowguid] [uniqueidentifier] ROWGUIDCOL NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [MSmerge_df_rowguid_7FF25DF903B6415FBFF24AC954BC88E4] DEFAULT (newsequentialid()),

CONSTRAINT [PK_AssignedCriteria] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED

(

[AssignedCriteria] ASC

)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]

) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]



Thanks.
