we have restored an older database and with it came a subscription to a publication that we cannot seem to delete.If we attempt to delete the subscription through SSMS an error pops up:"'[i]subscriber name[/i]' is not defined as a subscriber for '[i]server name[/i]'could not update the distribution database subscription table. the subscription status cound not be changed."there is not record for this subscription in the mssubscriptions table.have tried various versions of sp_dropsubscription to no avail. we even get a completion message of "the subscriber was dropped" but, it does not go away. Recreating the subscription from the subscriber side comes back with a message that the subscription already exists.Trying to avoid deleting the publication as there will be recovery work to do on the application that uses the publication.any help would be appreciated.
