Answer:
Have you tried de-selecting the menu item View -> Show -> Table Cells? This hides the table cells and shows you the Table Heading object. You may simply need to delete one more link to this Object.

If you still have problems, use the attached DXL to delete all incoming links to the currently selected table.

Hi,

We've used the DOORS Copy and Link function to create a duplicate of a source module with links from all source objects to all objects in the duplicate module.

We want to delete a table in the duplicate module - DOORS correctly warns you to delete each of the incoming links to each table cell before deleting the table - so we delete all of the incoming links one-by-one .

We try to delete the table again - DOORS claims that there are still links - after scratching our heads for a while, it eventually dawns on us that the Copy and Link function has linked to all of the hidden table cells that DOORS uses to mark the beggining of a table structure and the beggining of each table row . The hidden cells used to mark the beggining of a table row cannot be viewed so we can't delete the incoming links via the DOORS client and therfore cannot delete the table.

How can I get DXL to delete ALL incoming links to a table, including links to hidden table cells?
