Remarks
Control properties that define the Publisher, publication, Distributor, and Subscriber (for the Distribution and Merge controls) must be set before calling Initialize.
In Microsoft® Visual Basic®, Initialize is a Sub method and does not return a value.
Initialize should not be called prior to using the AddSubscription method to add a new subscription, or prior to using the DropSubscription method to drop an existing subscription.
