Hi,
I'm building a webform using CCK - and all i want to do is create fields for some poor miserable guy at work to add data in a controlled way (i.e. certain fields are required etc).

I havent done much work cos this CCK and webforms are so confusing!!

But anyway, enough of my private life. I have chosen CCK - why? Well, because I can upload data and apparently there are more options with CCK.

But the problems I'm having are getting rid of fields that come with the node - namely the BODY field. how can i remove that???

Thanks

The body field can be removed by omitting (removing) the body label just as it states under the body field during creation of the content type.
Edit the content type, find teh body label, and read the instructions under the body text block.

Nodes seem to need a title, however you can investigate the auto node title module which allows you to remove it from the form even though drupal will still issue a title for it.

Thanks for your response, but I honestly cannot find it.

Can you tell me exactly where I go to get rid of it?

go to administer -> content types
click edit on the content type you want to edit
expand submission form collapsed menu
find Body field label:
Inside that field you will see "Body"

per the directions under that field "To omit the body field for this content type, remove any text and leave this field blank."

Thus remove body from the field and save the form.
