Christianne, You may also be able to remove the fields from the view(s) that the user is using to prevent the field from showing up in the list. (Create a new view.. maybe name it something like "All fields" and make sure those fields are in that view and no other views.)
I would suggest that you try that approach before you change the permissions on the fields. -- Carey Matthew Black BMC Remedy AR System Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap....
