I saw one time in a search that there was a way to recreate the database’s list of fields and remove old fields that are no longer in the DB. I know creating a new DB copy will do that but is there a way to do that outside of copying the DB? I’ve looked through the forum but don’t seem to find that one post I saw long ago. Thanks folks.
Subject: How to re-create field list for a database
The Compact task will do this. But in addition to the fields being removed from forms they must also not exist on any documents or in any view selection or column formulas. So if after compact the field names still exist in the list then they must still exist somewhere in the db.

Didn’t realize the compact did that. I know there can’t be any docs that have those fields in the DB. Thanks for the help.
