fields hidden property, can't change property can't delete field.

this code throws an exeption: (System.ArgumentException)Message "Value
does not fall within the expected range."

siteCollection.AllWebs[0].Lists[j].Fields.Delete(siteCollection.AllWebs[0].Lists[j].Fields[i].Title);

and this code throws this
exception:(Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException) _message "Cannot change
Hidden attribute for this field" string

siteCollection.AllWebs[0].Lists[j].Fields[i].Hidden = true;

just for the record, there us no problem with the enumerations (i,j)
and the field "title" does have a value (and the correct one too).
this does not happen with the property ReadOnlyField... !?

if some one knows why.... i'd like to know!
:) thanks a bunch.

Just a thought. Whenever I get the "Value does not fall within expected
range" error I have to use the internal name of the field instead. It might
be looking for that instead. Try it, you might get lucky.
