| object | Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list. |

Remarks
CopySubscription copies a specially prepared database subscription file (typically with an .msf extension) to a Subscriber, attaches it, and receives an immediately synchronized subscription at the original Publisher. CopySubscription creates the .msf file. Use the AddSubscription 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.
