Changing the table schema in Subscriber (only)?

Hi,
I have to alter a column on a replicated table and because I cannot
have any downtime, I'm thinking about just alter a column in Subscriber
only. I tested out in the test environment if I could just alter a
column in subscriber only and it worked. Now i'm wondering if this way
is ok or not.
Thanks in advance

which version of SQL Server you are using ?
SQL Server 2000 or 2005?
If you have SQL Server 2005 then alter table will work for most
changes.

You can use sp_repladdcolumn or sp_repldropcolumn in SQL Server 2000.
If you are changing only at subscriber you can not get its effect on
your publisher.
