Adding new field in a table which being used for replication

Hi dear friends,
I'm trying to add a new field in a table and in my desired
position (OrdinalPosition), but I can not and I get the
following error message. As this table is involved in
replication I get this error message:
('tblTransPayments' table
- Unable to modify table.
ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]
Cannot drop the table 'dbo.tblTransPayments' because it is
being used for replication.)
It should be noticed that I have lots of data in this
table and I'm not going to drop the table.
I can easily add my new field at the end of the column's
list but not as 21th column which I want to.
Thanks in advance.Hi -
Please check SQL BOL for "sp_repladdcolumn" and "sp_repldropcolumn".
Thanks

this won't give the ability to specify the position, and Matthew doesn't
want the column created at the end.
