Opportunity Probablity Field

Is there a way to remove the probability field from the opportunity layout?  I want to create a new custom field which will calculate the probability of a job the way that we calculate it - based upon the Gross Profit of a job, not the Gross Net.  However, after I've created the custom field, I cannot remove the standard probability field from the opportunity.

Yep, Probability is a stubborn critter.  Can't be moved off the Page Layout.  Try this:

Go into Setup > Opportunities > Fields.  Click the Probability field and then the View Field Accessibility command button.  You should be able to make it hidden for whichever Profiles you don't want to see the field.

You're on a roll - thanks for the suggestion...

but I am running Professional Edition and I do not see an option to view accessibility on the page - or maybe I am blind to the button?  All I can do is create a validation.

Oooooh.. shot down by Professional Edition again.  Sorry, but I guess my roll ended.
