Deleting Custom Fields

[Jason M]

I have an Enterprise Custom Field that I dedcided not use use and want to
delete. How do I do this?

 

[Reid McTaggart]

In Enterprise Global, edit the field and delete any lists, code masks,
formulas, or indicators you defined for the field. Delete the name you gave
the field. Click OK. Click OK on any warnings you get about data about to
be deleted (you'll lose any data entered in the field).

Remove the field from any views/tables (in PPro or PWA) in which it was
included.

Save Enterprise Global.

Restart PPro.

The only way to remove every trace of the enterprise custom field is to do
the following:

1. Open the Enterprise Global
2. Click Tools - Organizer
3. Select the Fields tab
4. Select the custom field from the list on the right
5. Click the Delete button
6. Click the Close button
7. Save and close the Enterprise Global file
8. Exit and relaunch Microsoft Project Professional

Hope this helps.

You are welcome, my friend! I occasionally make a goof, too. That's a
small price to pay for our willingness to help others in these newsgroups.
