BOL Quote: "Two Merge Replication Proceses..."

Hi everyone,
I was hoping someone could offer some insight into a quote from the SQL
Server Compact 3.5 BOL
(ms-help://MS.SSC.v35/MS.SSC.v35.EN/sscmain/html/7434b4c1-5099-4d83-b5f9-75a9e6e72faa.htm):
"You cannot start two merge replication processes at the same time on the
same database."
I'm not sure what "same database" means. Is it referring to the same server
database? Let's say I have a sales force where SQL Compact 3.5 installed on
each agent's laptop. Does it mean only one sales agent at a time can merge
with the corporate server? Please tell me this is not true. We need to have
multiple agents replicating simultaneously.
Thanks very much.

Hello Tom,
I understand that you are confused by the descriptioin "You cannot start
two merge replication processes at the same time on the same database." in
BOL. You'd like to know only one sales agent at a time can merge with the
corporate server if you use merge replication.
I believe it's not true. You could have multiple agents replicate
simultaneously though there is only process running for the specific
database you'd like to replciate.
If you have any further concerns, please feel free to let's know.
Best Regards,
