Would that work? Make sure you have your : library well backed up if you decide to try this!!! I have wanted to do this too. You only get rid of the abstract if you then make some change to the individual record and reclose the window. I have deleted the abstract field from the reference types. Now when ever I am bored, I search for records that have the word `the' in the abstract field, open ten of them, insert and delete a space or check them for inconsistancies, incomplete page numbers, keywords etc. and then close the record. Now the abstract is really gone. Perhaps in the upgrade which allows global changes to be made I believe, this will happen automatically. Leanne
