Håvard, You can create a copy of the dataset while skipping the field. For shapefiles you won't have to mention the .shp file. Opening just the .dbf file will be enough. Similar thing can be done using ogr2ogr by specifying the -select option without the specified field's name. http://www.gdal.org/ogr2ogr.html
