    Can't delete a column (field)


    I am revising the structure of some tables and trying to delete a field. However, I get a message indicating that I can't delete the field because it is part of a relationship. I have cleared my relationships window, so how do I clear that relationship so I can delete this field?

    in the relationships window, right click the connector line between that table and the other. You can delete it that way.

    Got it, thanks. I didn't realize that clearing the relationships window didn't clear the actual relationships.

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