There should be a full document available on line that exalains how its all
setup etc..
http://www.replication.co.za/borland/interbase/ibreplicator/papers/4128.html

The only thing really to note is the order of the fields.
1) Put them alphabetically but remember "_" comes before "A". -  I tried
typing all the fields out and ordering them in a spread sheet as I was being
lazy and had 130+ fields, but this didn't work the down fall was the "_"
character. This is lower in the alphabet then the letter "A". I've
capitalised all fields as its easier for me to read and is our internal
practice. but note eg MEMBER_NUMBER comes before MEMBERSHIP_TYPE.
2) after the fields list the Unique key(s) - mines just the UID field.
3) Then add THE_TYPE, this was just TYPE in some docs i've seen, but this
was a typo as its a reserved word. This enables you to specify certain
actions depending on an insert, update, or delete.
4) when setting the replication up, you must pass in all the fields to the
stored procedure. If you don't or there declared in the wrong order you will
get errors like Invalid varient type.
5) Finally, don't forget to grant permissions to the procedure.

I've not tested passing Blobs throught the stored procedure, I've been told
by some people it can be done, and others it can't.
I hope this helps,
Steve
