Hi Backya;

  Just add the PBD to your App "target's" library list.

Regards ... Chris

As Chris said, you can add the PBD to the library list. You won't be able to see the code scripts but you will be able to run the app.

Can you get the missing objects from a source control system or from a copy of the pbl from an earlier version?

An old one is better than none. You can copy from the older library and re-apply any changes made between March and May.

If you use source control, then you should be able to - at least - get the exported sr* files from it and be able to compare it with the current objects in the pbl.

If you're not using any form of source control, the maybe you could use a pb decompiler tool. There was this Chinese one, not free, but if your code is important enough, worth paying the price. I've used the free version in the past and it worked great (it does limit the exported lines of code though).

http://mis2erp.com/pageen.html (you will have to translate any pages you visit, depending on how good your Chinese is). Probably the same product, but in English if lucky: https://www.zedload.com/search.php?q=Pbkiller&log=1&x=0&y=0 (you'll have login before you can download on this one).

good luck!

Source control allows you to maintain "copies / a history" of your source code when doing changes. The advantage it offers you, is that when you make changes and later want to go back in time, you can use the source control to do so. It's also useful to compare any changes done in time, comparing with previous versions. It also allows a team to use the same source code and work on it at the same time.

Some of the most used source control tools are: SVN, Git, TFS, etc.

Per a comment yesterday, they have a copy of the library from April but it is missing from their May copy. I think they should take a copy of the library from April and re-code any changes made in May.

yes, but ... do they know which changes they made if "they" don't seem to use source control. This will be a tough one.
