FIX: Synchronization May Fail After You Use Large Text or Image Data (304072)

SYMPTOMS

If you use text or image data in a Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Windows CE edition version 1.1 (SQL Server CE) database, the following error message may occur when you use the merge replication object:

Source: Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Windows CE Edition
Error Number: 80072F7F
Native Number: 28032
Error Description: Run Failure initializing internet functionality
SSCE_M_FAILUREINITIALIZINGINTERNET

CAUSE

SQL Server CE allocated virtual memory in the application's process space that is typically reserved for the Windows CE operating system dynamic linked libraries. In this particular problem, SQL Server CE used memory required to load the Winsock.dll file. The error message listed in the "Symptoms" section can occur when Winsock.dll fails to load when you attempt to make a connection by using the WinInet API.
