by Joseph Brownell / Monday, August 17 2015 / Published in Access 2010, Access 2013, Latest, Microsoft, Office 2010, Office 2013

Delete a Table Field in Access: Overview

            You can delete a table field that you do not use from a table in an Access database. Once again, as when changing a field name, make sure that there are not any queries, forms, reports or macros that refer to the field or use data contained within the field before you delete it.

            To delete a table field in Access, first open the table in table design view. Next, click the row selector button at the far left end of the field that you want to delete. Click the “Delete Rows” button in the “Tools” group on the “Design” tab of the “Table Tools” contextual tab.

Then click the “Save” button in the Quick Access toolbar to save your structural modifications.
