Remarks
CopySubscription copies a specially prepared database subscription file (typically with an .msf extension), which can be used to initialize a subscription at another Subscriber without applying an initial snapshot. Use the AddSubscription Method (Replication ActiveX) method with the ATTACH_SUBSCRIPTION option to create the new subscription from the .msf file.
You can use the CopySubscription method to copy a subscription database that contains more than one subscription.
