How to get old data to upload

Hello,
I have a Merge Replication setup between a publisher and a subscriber.
About a month ago the replication failed. We have recently reconfigured the
replication(recreated the publications, distributors, and each of the
subscribers) and got it all going fine now, no errors.
My issue is that during that 1 month period while the replication had failed
and was disabled/deleted there were changes being made at the subscirber.
Everything seems to be replicating EXCEPT those changes that were made at the
subscriber during the down month. I've tring to reapply the snapshots with
the "upload data" option and all kinds of other stored procedures with not
luck.
How can I get that data that was entered when the replication links were
deleted to resync?
Thanks
run a validation. Determine the data which is out of sync/missing. Then
update the data setting a column to the same value or insert it on the
publisher if it is missing. Resolve conflicts.

|||Thanks for answering my question about SQL replication: see below.
From what I am gathering from you, I need to MANUALLY determine which data
is out of sync and then update those rows on the subscriber (by setting a
value to itself?, eg. Update table set datefield=datefield where datefield
= someday) and that will merge in those values. Is this correct?
I think I can do this. It will just be a pain as the remote subscribers
are over a slow link and the database is a couple gigs in size. So
determining which rows are different/missing is going to be difficult. I
suppose I could add a linked server and do a query where the join fails, or I
found a SQL db compare tool from Red Gate software that does DB compares, but
comparing huge databases across slow lines will take forever. Any thoughts?
Thanks again!
