Thanks Christie, I didn't know you could add an existing attachment field to a pool. That is useful info.
Unfortunately, when you hilite the attachment field in the attachment pool and hit the "Delete" button nothing happens. If you open the pool Field Properties and delete it from the pool, the attachment field is no longer part of the pool, but it still exists. I guess they aren't really hurting anything, but it is bad feng shui having fields in your list that you don't use.
