"upload only" tables in merge subscription?

Is it possible to upload data in a single table from all subscribers to the
publisher in a merge subscription? All subscribers and the publisher are
running SS2005 (Express edition for subscribers). I'm familiar with the
download only option from publisher to subscribers, but need to do just the
opposite. If merge replication can't do this, how about transactional
replication, using a publication with just this one table? Creative
suggestions welcome.
TIA,
Eric Hall
Paul -
Thanks for the pointer. Since I only want to perform the "upload only" on 2
articles, it looks like I have to create a seperate publication for just
those tables. Odd that the upload only option was left out of the
sp_addmergearticle @.subscriber_upload_options parameter options. Download
only is there!
Thanks,
Eric

|||Quite understnad - at first I thought it was a replacement for the
commandline parameter but then I realised there is some overlap but they
aren't the same thing. The "@.subscriber_upload_options" is pretty nice
addition though - it vastly reduces the amount of metadata involved, as the
triggers simply don't record the changes. I guess that's why it couldn't
replace the upload only option as this sin't really controlled in the
triggers.
