There never was a master or replica. The button was pushed by mistake YEARS ago and (apparently) there was no backup because they left it that way. John W.

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.
