Remove Revenue field from opportunity form

I want to remove the revenue radio button field that asks if you want to
enter the value yourself or have it system calculated but can't as it says it
is required by the system.

We do not have products so cannot calculate opportunity values. So it would
be nice to remove the revenue field and default to the user entering the
revenue value themselves (I can do the last bit).

Does anyone know what is stopping me removing it?

Hi Helen,

Unfortunately you cannot remove this field.
The reason is that the recalculate button on this form auto-calculates the
revenue from the opportunity products attached to it.

You could try some unsupported javascript modifications, but it'll be not
easy.

With kind regards,

I defaulted the radio button to be "User Entered," disabled and moved it to
the Administration tab. I thought I could at least hide this field from the
user. However, I am now in a bind that the Estimated Revenue field is always
showing as disabled, even though the system calculated field is defalted to
"User Entered." Does anyone have an idea what I could have done wrong? Does
the system calculated field have to be on the General tab to work?

After further investigation, I realized that this only happens when I change
the system calulated field to be a drop down instead of "two radio buttons."
I switched it back to two radio buttons and everything seems to work fine.
It also works for the check box option too. If I switch it back to drop down
list, then the est. revenue field is disabled again. Perhaps the system
event code doesn't work for drop down lists? At any rate, this option at
least removes the field from the main tab and disables it, thus providing the
user the appearance they only have the Est. Revenue field on the General tab.
