Remove an Item from a Script

When you are certain you no longer need an item and know how your changes will impact the rest of your script, you can remove fields, controls, branches, rules, and entire pages from your script.

  1. From your open script, do one of the following:
    • Select the item you want to remove on the design space.

    • Click the Design tab and select the item you want to remove from the drop-down list on the Selected Object group.

    Tip: Selecting the item you want to remove from the drop-down list helps to ensure that you select the correct item before you delete it. For example, you can be certain you select a specific field on a table rather than the entire table. See Access Design Space Items Using the Ribbon.
    1. Click Delete on the Design tab.
      The Delete Confirmation window opens, asking if you want to delete the item. If the item you are deleting is used in rules or branches, a warning will list the affected rules and branches.
    2. Click Yes to delete the item.
  2. To delete a page or branch, select the item on the page selector and click the Home tab.
    1. Click Delete.
      The Delete Confirmation window opens, asking if you want to delete the item.
    2. Click Yes to delete the item.
