Error 21085: The retention period

When I try to create and manage publication in SQL 7.0, I got the following
error message:
Error 21085: The retention period must be less than the retention period for
the distribution database.
I try to create publishor and distributor on the same server.
Thank you.
can you do a sp_helpdistributor and sp_helppublication. Note the retention
period for your distributor. The retention period for your publication
should be less than or equal to the retention period of your distributor.
