I'm still learning the PB2025 IDE from (PB6.0) and I've encountered a situation where I need to drop a column in a table. I've tried using the database painter objects list and when I right click on a field in one of the tables I can see a "drop column" option. However when I click the drop column button the column does not drop. It's still there. Even if I disconnect and reconnect the field is still there. The only way I can remove a field is to use ISQL and ALTER TABLE tablename DROP COLUMN fieldname. Then disconnect and reconnect. Then the field is gone. Is this just a bug in PB2025 Beta?
