John, <<I tried running trigeminal's unreplicator but I think they got confused by the unreplicated fields and said it wasn't replicated and didn't do anything.>> Your talking about this? http://trigeminal.com/lang/1033/utility.asp?ItemID=11#11 The only other thing I know you can do is to: 1. Synch all replicas 2. Recover the design master if you don't have it. 3. Then use the unreplicate wizard.

I tried running trigeminal's unreplicator but I think they got confused by the unreplicated fields and said it wasn't replicated and didn't do anything. I tried to delete just the system field S_GUID but was told I can't because it is a system field and I can't do that. The "suggestion" was to rebuild the table by doing a make table without the S_GUID field. I can certainly do that but I have to also break existing relationships, delete the existing data and then recreate the relationships. Is there ANY method of just deleting the S_GUID field? It is doing no damage but it is taking up space, is confusing, and is simply not needed and I would like to get rid of it. John W.
