I have created some copies of fields in my database in error and it has named them with _1 or _1_1 after the name and I am wanting to remove them. How can I do this, I have no documents, views or forms using them but they are still in the list of available fields.
As I am very new to this please give detail in you answer
thanks
Martin
Subject: Compact the database
Do a copy style compact on the database:load compact db.nsf -c -D -i
Dash c = copy style. Dash D = Discards built view indexes.
Close out of all clients. In some rare cases delete the cache.ndk.
Subject: Process to remove fields from a database
Understanding that you’ve already done most of this, the whole process is …
Remove the field from all design elements.
Remove the item from all documents
Compress the database - that rebuild the “names of used fields” list
