Yes, I am talking about fields (doesn't help much that ACCESS calls these rows and columns in table design view).  The fields don't show up in table design view, but when I am putting together the form and using the Field List the deleted fields show up on the Field List.  I'll keep working on it, but am puzzled.  Forgot to tell you that I renamed one of the  fields rather than deleting it.  Could that be a problem?  Also am trying to figure out the new "ribbon" on 2007.  I'll keep trying.
