    Deleting a field from my main table (and the problematic consequences)


    Hi All,

    In my Access2000 db, I have a table, on which many different queries are based. Many forms are based on those queries. I want to delete some redundant fields from the table. I tried deleting one, but I found I could no longer open any of the associated queries and forms. Is there a simple way to delete table fields so that it doesn't stop me from opening associated queries and forms? (There are hundreds of them, and I have a lot of table fields that I want to delete).

    Many thanks,

    Al

    You can programmatically redesign query objects using .QueryDefs. It would probably be easier to open you query in design view and edit the object using the query builder.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
