could not disable publishing and distribution

hello All,

i am trying to delete publications in SQL 2000, SP4 and getting this
error:

SQL Server Enterprise Manager could not disable publishing and distribution on '<publishername>'.

Error 3724 : cannot drop the procedure
'dbo.sp_sel_F854ED4CD7EA4399EFDB9697F4E24A10_pal' because itis being used for replication.

Thanks and Regards

Kanna

Run sp_removedbreplication in the published database.
