Help!

D.T.

Not with a single step. You could delete all repetitions of the field using the Set Field command for each repetition.

No.

Workaround is to create a second database with an empty repeating field(same number of repeatitions) and do an import(with selected "Replace records" option)into the repeating field you want to clear.In this case you nees to have the same number of found records in both databases(scriptable).

Set Field (FieldName, 1) = ""

Set Field (FieldName, 2) = ""

and so on...
