Hi All,

I accidentally generated Archival code for an application and not I'm having trouble packaging it.  The list of problems leads me to think the Archival code is the cause of the problems.  Where is the Archival code stored and how can I get rid of it.  Any and all ideas are welcome.

Typically, you have chosen a second application in which to record the archival code. You can choose to put it in the same application as the GUI in question.
Browse the class side of the GUI class (or part class or whichever class you generated archival code for).

I don't have an example handy, so I can only vaguely tell you what to look for. You will see methods (most of them private methods) with "part builder" names, as well as "calculate" or "generate" (although I think it's really "calculate"). The method categories may help you identify them all, but I don't remember.

Checking for the differences between the version which first includes the archival code and the one which doesn't would also be an effective way to identify what is the generated code.

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the help.  I wasn't able to find the archival code but while looking for it I discovered that a prerequisite for an edit app (not one of mine) was added, probably by doing the archival.  Removing it solved my packaging problem.
