add article to replication without snapshotting entire DB.

hi

I simply want to add an article to an existing publication WITHOUT creating a new snapshot of the entire database, but rather just a snapshot of the new items.

I can add the article just fine either through the EM or sp_addarticle, but when I come to start the snapshot agent, it copies out the enitre DB. This DB is 150GB and the subscriber is in France (im in UK) so im going to be old(er) and grey(er) by the time the snapshot is copied over.

how do I accomplish this simple, yet seemingly utterly impossible task (as I have been looking and posting all over the place.)

Thanks

Alastair Jones.
