Cannot delete merge publication

Hello...
I had a merge publication that I thought was removed...at least it does not
appear in Ent. Mgr under the list of Publications. However, in the
Replication Monitor the publication still exists. When I click on the
publication to delete or check its properties I get the mesage:
SQL Server could not retrieve information about publication 'My_Publication'
Error 21776: [SQL-DMO] The name 'My_Publication' was not found in the
MergePublications collection. If the name is a qualified name...'
I searched for that error code...but could not find anything that would help
me solve this problem.
if anyone has any ideas, it would be appreciated.
thanks

check sysmergepublications in the publications database. Do you find the
publication there?
If so you will need to delete it and the matching sysmergearticles columns.
Also delete the rows for this publication from
distribution.dbo.MSpublications

I don't know how to solve my problem , someone please help me to overcome this problem .Thanks in advance .sorry for my poor English , I'm a Vietnamese student .

The problem is that you're trying to connect to a Sql server express user instance, but you're in fact using Sql Server 2000. You can modify your connection string to work with sql server 2000, or you can download and install sql server express - this is a free download from here:http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/Aa336346.aspx .

DO the following modification in the Connection String of the App.Config / Web.config ...

Remove the AttributeUser Instance =true from the connection string that should solve the issue
