Joel needed to get additional authority to re-register the AFP source, but I
think I got him going in the right direction. :-))

So if I understand it correctly, source is in a PF, maybe multi-member.

When you add a PF to Aldon, there is a "Data Option" field (half way 
down the screen), where one of the options is 2=Promote data.  You might 
want to investigate the help on that one, just in case it may be a 
solution.

If you think it might work, after you promote make sure you do a check 
out to see if the data still exists in the checked out object.

I have no experience with AFP source files and we don't have the product 
on our box.
