Weird, the rs_help output didn't do what I want (show repdef states for replicate_if_changed)....can you do the following from RS:
connect to RSSD
go
select objname, attributes from rs_objects where objname='rates_xml_rdef'
go
select colname, status from rs_columns
where objid=(select objid from rs_objects where objname='rates_xml_repdef')
and colname='xml_data'
go
disconnect
go
.....and post the output???
