All name information in a TMG dataset is stored in the Names database files
(*N.DBF and *N.FPT). The actual name information is stored in the FPT
file (read FoxPro Text file), so there is no way you could delete a
"column" of data. I would suggest that you contact Tech Support and ask
them about possibly doing something through the Back Door.

Hope this helps -
