Thanks, everyone, for your advice! Since this is in the test system I think I’ll use Axton’s suggestion. When the time comes to move this form into our live system, I’ll export the form definition, then edit out the offending field before importing it into the new system.

The same goes with changing field ID's using archgid.. may not work with fields having a core field ID.. but would be interesting to try and use it.

I have no idea how it got there, but I can’t delete it because it is a “Core” field. Most of the time it lays there and doesn’t cause any problem. But if I try to copy my form to a new form (Save Form As) I get: “Field ID is in the core field range but is not recognized : (54)(ARERR 404)” How can I get rid of the ~...@!@# thing?
