    Deleting duplicate field on person card

    I'm using Version 9 and have somehow managed to duplicate a field (Immigration) on the person card. I've gone to Reunion -> Preferences -> Fields and deleted this event, and I've gone to View -> View Preferences and "Immigration" is no longer showing there, and I've been to Edit -> Person -> Events and "Immigration" is no longer showing there, and I've googled around, but I still have two "Immigration" fields on the cards.

    The only thing I've managed to delete is the information that I had entered into this field.

    How do I delete one of the Immigration fields from the card?

    Thanks very much for assistance.

    Regards,

    Without seeing your family file, I can only guess at the problem.

    Based on past experiences, I'm guessing the Immigration field is still in View -> View Preferences. However, it is not shown because the window is too small.

    To test this theory, open the View -> View Preferences window. Then move your cursor to the lower-right corner of the View Preferences window and click-and-drag down. If you now see Immigration in View Preferences, select it and click "Remove Field."

    I hope this is helpful in locating/removing the Immigration field from the View

      Bingo, Deb! You were right.

      After expanding the window as you directed I saw the Immigration fields and removed them, and now they are gone from the person cards. What a simple "fix" and yet I couldn't solve it, and it was driving me "nutso".

      Thank you very much for you help.
