Sergey,

I understand about rvpDeleteProtect, but if you can add a field with empty

content, I don't understand why you can't fill it in and then clean up the

whole content without deleting the field, just returning to the original

state. My appreciation might be incorrect, but it continues being a bug for

me. May be a by design bug ;-)

Best regards,

Gustavo
