Custom Business Object Code missing in EBP 3.5

[Susan R. Keohan]

Okay, I know you are all rolling on the floor laughing, but first off, let me add, I was not the
developer that this happened to.  Really.  Secondly, this person is now trying to restore code from
who-knows-what-level and is convinced that the business object code will re-disappear, so please, if
anyone has had this happen, and it was NOT a EBKAC, please let me know.  If this has happened, and
it WAS an EBKAC, that'd be helpful too.  The Basis folks are expending a lot of energy on this.
(And Basis folks are my friends).
 
Thanks in advance,
Sue
