Adding and Removing Replication Routines
The Select Routine list contains the routines that are in the database. Only routines that match
the type of routine that you are creating are included in the list.
If you have a saved routine from a different computer, you can import the routine. You can also
export a routine from the database so that it can be imported into the database on a different
computer. If you no longer need a routine, you can delete it from the database.
