Our's is a service based company so we do not need shipping address in MS
CRM.

1) Is there a restrction in MS crm 1.2 to delete custom fields?
2)Can we delete/ modify MS created fields?

Considering the SQL 8000 byte limit how can this be done.

3) Can we delete it using enterprise Manager in SQL?
4) How can Dependencies be removed?


Please advise suitable method for removing unwanted fields without effecting
other things?

Fields cannot be deleted from the schema (custom or
otherwise), but can be removed from forms as long as any
dependencies are removed. No, don't delete fields via
Enterprise Manager; the related Metabase won't reflect
your changes and your upgrades would be at issue and as
you re-publish form changes, etc. you'd get errors I am
sure.

Dependencies are removed via Deployment Manager and the
Mappings setting for each object. In the case of
addresses there are a lot of mappings, so work from the
source down (i.e., contacts > quotes, accounts > quotes,
quotes >orders, quotes > invoices, etc. When you've
removed all of the dependencies you should be able to
remove the field from the form.

thanks for ur reply
I have tried removing dependencies using entity mapper in Deployment
Manager but could not get rid of shipping address from the forms.

It gives an error message: The field you are trying to remove is required by
the system or business or an event dependent field.

I have also checked the constraints of the field

Please tell what part have I missed.
Do I have to Publish Customizations or What?
