Remarks
Control properties that define the Publisher, publication, Distributor, and Subscriber (for the Distribution and Merge controls) must be set before calling Initialize.
In Microsoft Visual Basic, Initialize is a Sub method and does not return a value.
Initialize should not be called prior to using the AddSubscription Method (Replication ActiveX) method to add a new subscription, prior to using the DropSubscription Method (Replication ActiveX) method to drop an existing subscription, or prior to using CopySubscription Method (Replication ActiveX) to copy a subscription database.
