Cannot drop article ''TABLE60'' from publication ''DB_Comp''...

[ Merge Replication ]
I work with a software that the act deletion and creation of the table
and deletion and creation and change of the field by the users happens
so much.
for deletion of the table using this command :
sp_dropmergearticle @.publication='DB_Doc',
@.article = 'TABLE65',
@.force_invalidate_snapshot=1
, but after execute this command displayed below message :
"Cannot drop article 'TABLE65' from publication 'DB_Doc' because its
snapshot has been run and this publication could have active
subscriptions."
how can i drop the table in active merge replication with T-SQL(System
Stored Procedure)?
thanks.

As far as I know, you can't. The best you can do is synchronize all
subscribers until no change is applied, drop the publication, change the
table on the publisher and subscribers, readd the publication and do a
nosync initialization.
