Use with care, but a couple of things you can do to get rid of these unused
attachment fields ...
- Run driver.exe program, give the following commands in order (& supply
appropriate responses to the prompts) - init, log, dsf (as many times for each
unused field), term.
[ Generally the above very safe, unless you give wrong form name or field
id!!]
- Export the def out, trim out the "field {" blocks corresponding to your old
attachment fields; using Admin Tool, re-import this def in-place with "Delete
excess fields" option.
[ Messing with def files is usually risky, so be really careful as to what
you're doing, backup things upfront etc.]

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.
