[Zope] version trouble

[Chris Kratz]

Hi Steffen,

Have you deleted the original Version?  If so, you might try restoring it 
with Undo on the container object.  You can then enter that version, resave 
the objects and then save the version again.  If you try the recreate a 
version to replace the old one, make sure that it is named exactly the same 
and in the same location.  I highly doubt that the original name of that 
version was 'No Longer Active'.  I think that is what zope says if it cannot 
find the version.  Do you know what the original version was named?

The error you are getting below is the standard locked object message and 
implies that you are not in the same version that has the object locked.  
Hence you cannot resave the object.  

Good luck,

-Chris
