Lisa, If the fields are in the Fields Not In View list, then they have not been deleted. They have simply been moved out of the view.
To delete a field, select the field and choose the Delete option (under the Edit menu). If a field is not in the view, you can either 1) Go to a view that has the field in view 2) Go to the Fields Not in View list and move it into the view Then, the field is there, you can select it, and select the Delete option. There will be a dialog that shows up asking if you really want to delete the field. Respond Yes to really delete the field. Then, save the form. The field will be deleted -- from the form and so from all views. The only way that the field is present in the list of fields whether in view or not in view is that it really exists and has not been deleted. That would be why you are seeing it on lists of fields -- it is really there. Some people think that just by taking a field off the view -- moving it from in view to not in view -- will delete it. Only Deleting a field will gaurantee deleting it. Now, if the field is a piece of trim, removing from all views may cause the field to be deleted because it no longer has meaning because all it is is a display. BUT, this is a side effect and may or may not happen (I don't remember whether it does or not). If you want a field deleted, select it and select the Delete operation and it will be deleted. I hope this helps, Doug Mueller -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of lisakemes Sent: Tuesday, May 04, 2010 10:47 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Still See Fields After I Deleted Them Joe Souza gave me some instructions on how to get rid of the fields that are in the "Fields Not In View" and I cannot find the instructions. Even though I deleted these fields, they are still in Fields Not in View and are coming up when creating Active Links, it's really irritating! Does anyone have the instructions on how to get rid of them completely? I think I had to create a new view and all sorts of other things. Why is it so hard to delete a field off of a form? (this is a display only form as well). ARS 7.1 p7 Windows 2003 Oracle 10g Thanks!
