Conflict table does not exist

Microsoft.SQLServer.2008.Conflict_table__does_not_exist_1_5_Rule (Rule)

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

This error occurs when you try to add or drop a column to a merge article, but the conflict table specified in sysmergearticles for the modified article does not actually exist in the database.

A variation of this problem occurs when the conflict table has a special character. For more information about this scenario, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article 307956.

Resolutions

Execute DBCC CHECKDB on the database with the missing conflict table to verify there are no data consistency issues.

If the conflict table is missing on a Subscriber, drop the subscription and recreate it. If the conflict table is missing on a Publisher, drop all subscriptions, drop the publication, and then recreate the publication and all subscriptions.
