For some reason the fields were still available in the only view I had, I added them to the current view and then deleted them and recreated the ones I needed without issue, thanks to Fred and Rune which led me to resolve my problem and thanks to the list for allowing me to submit my problem. Everyone have a great week..........................mfl

Check out the Form-Current View-Fields in View... Se if you find the field in the list on the left... /Rune 2008/2/27, Lyons, Michael (USAEO) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: ** Windows 2003 Server SP1 SQL 2005 SP1 ARS 7.10 I have had an issue deleting fields and when I recreate them using the same labels and database names I receive the message "Field (XXXX) has a duplicate name. Please select a unique name for this field before saving the form. All other changes are not saved" The field names do not show in the Find Field List. My question: How do I remove these fields to reuse the database names. Fat and fast fingers created the problem. Michael F.
