That will bring up all the information about the table in the right hand window. You will find a list, in chart form, of the fields contained in the table. Look for the field you need to erase. In front of the field name, there is a check box. Mark this box. Then beneath the list you will see the Delete Icon. It is a big red X. Simply click on it. A display will ask you to verify that you really want to delete or Drop the Field? Click Yes to confirm. Now the window will show the list of table fields, and the erased field is gone. A message also confirms that your action was a success.
