Can't Drop table in Replication

Dear friends

I restore one database in two database servers which is running on SQL server 2000.I replicated these two through snapshot relication.Snapshot agent is creating snapshot.But when I am starting to synchronize it's telling can't drop table because that table is in replication. Backup I taken from a replicated database.so it's having rowguid both the servers.Another thing the table which it is telling not able to drop it's having primary key.please tell me what may be the problem.In replication why it is going to drop table it's only what to transport data na

The database that's restored at the subscriber probably still has replication bits set. You can clean up replication at the subscriber database by calling proc sp_removedbreplication.|||

I done like that.But I got a problem .I am using backup from replicated database .This backup only i restored on my publisher & subscriber.When I am subscribing three system stored procedure should be generate na for Del,Ins.Upd operations .This is not happening.I tried to delete this system generated procedures in the restored database .But it's not allowing.Then I applied replication Pubs database which is coming along with SQL Server .Then what I seen I published all Tables(10).But Stored procedure only for 5 tables is generated .in these tables whatever changes i am making it's affecting through Replication,Example publisher table in pubs database is not getting any stored procedure after subscription.So it's not getting any change through replication.Then I am getting error message'procedure Sp_MsIns_Publisher not found'.So please tell me what to do remove all old Stored procedures for replication in restored database and how to create the stored procedures for all the tables published

Thanks in Advance

You need to restore the database at the subscriber and remove all replication components. When using the wizard to set up the subscription, specify the option that the subscriber has the data. if you're doing it via TSQL, then specify 'nosync' for paramter @.sync_type in sp_addsubscription. After the first sync, you can then run sp_scriptpublicationcustomprocs at the subscriber to create the necessary procs for the distribution agent.

Greg thanks for suggestion.Previously itself I tried these ways to remove replication components.But still System stored procedures for table Ins,Del,Upd is not dropping.I want a specific way to drop it out.I think i mentioned this in earlier post.So kindly suggest me a better way for that

I am describing my problem below .I taken a backup of replicated database.That I restored on another server.I made that one as a publisher.Another instance I made as a subscriber.I restored same database on this subscriber.Then I tried for transactional replication.While synchronizing I got error on my subscriber 'Sp_MsIns_AgentCode is not found'.This I got while Inserting records to AgentCode Table in publisher.Then I come to know for each table article published in Transactional replication will have three system generated stored procedures 1)insertion 2)updation 3)Deletion.This is not generating when i subscribing to my publisher..Here when I am pulling the subscription I am specifying 'No Shema & data transfer'.So I am not able to transport this System generated Procedures.If I am selecting 'Schema & data Tansfer'.It won't able to initialize in subscriber due to Foreign Key criterias. after completing Subscription through Wizard,Can I trnsfer UPD,INS,DEL Procedure Schema through any Sp_procedure call? Give me some better way

I mentioned above to run stored procedure sp_scriptpublicationcustomprocs at the subscriber database after applying the snapshot, did you do that? That proc is supposed to generate the missing sp_MSins/upd/del procs that the distribution agent is trying to execute.
