Snapshot and Merge

Question

Hi all

Just today I experienced a strange behavior, I configured a server setup for a couple of weeks ago, consisting of a backend server and a frontend server, placed a merge replication between them ( Publisher and Distributor at BE )

Then I wanted to create a snapshot at the BE, so I did, but it caused a lot of conflicts in the merge replication so I was forced to pull it down again. The conflicts was apparently caused by the delete trigger in the publication and that delete trigger existed in the snapshot as well, so somehow things get a bit mixed up :(


Any suggestions how to accomplish a snapshot and merge ?

Sorry I'm a bit confused - how does running a snapshot cause conflicts?
