adding an article to a publication

When adding an article I have checked the checkbox to show unpublished
articles
and then selected the required the tables. After this, I have run the
snapshot agent for this publication.
The 2 tables I added contained no data yet the snapshot started the coping
of rows of other tables in the publication . Is this right as I thought this
snapshot would just process information for the unpublished tables?
thanks for any help

Hi Sammy,
This is expected behavior if you have a merge or snapshot publication. If
you have a transactional publication, a snapshot of all articles will always
be generated if the immediate_sync publication property is set to true.
Typically, the immediate_sync publication property is set to true if you
allowed anonymous subscriptions while creating the publication through the
CreatePublication wizard. If none of what I said previously applies to your
scenario, it would be great if you can post more details about your
publication so either me or other folks on this newsgroup are in a better
position to figure this out.
