I don't beleive you can edit functions, so it's not a good idea to delete noncustom fields. I'm surprised that you could. Did you delete it in SLX Database manager, or in SQL Management Studio (which would be a big no-no)?

That's the thing... it is a custom field added to the database many moons ago mind you so it's managed to make it into random functions/scripts here and there after our providers converted them all from legacy to vbscript. I've posted the issue their way but if anyone knows how to edit this function in the meantime, then that would be much appreciated if you could help.

The obvious thing to do is open the Account Detail view in Archetect and remove the field. Then click the binoclures and search for the field and any likely variable names that contained the value. Edit the script so the deleted field is not referenced. Then click All Scripts and repeat the searches, removing from any released scripts the references to the deleted field.

Because of how fields can be referenced in other views, scripts and groups, it is often better to uncheck Visible in controls displaying no-longer-used fields rather than deleting them from the database.
