Database growth and Replication

We have two database instances replicating between them.
We are currently trying to manually grow the database files, when we
do they are reverting back to the original size.
Using Enterprise Manager we enter the properties and insert the new
file size. When we come out SQL pauses and when the screen refreshes
shows the new size.
If we exit enterprise manager and then go back in the original size is
being used.
We have tried ammending the publisher then the subscriber and vice
versa.
Do we need to stop merge replication prior to a database file growth?
Thanks

Not that I'm aware.
But it almost always sounds like you have auto-shrink enabled.

You're welcome.
And yet another reason to avoid auto-shrink ;-)
