table field clearing

I have a table field that I want the users of my application to use to 
make a list. If they decide they don't like their list I want them to 
be able to start over. The problem is that I can't seem to delete 
things from the table field and have them stay deleted.

I put this in the message box:

delete line 3 of field "daTable"

Line 3 of the field went blank when I hit return. However, when I went 
to type something new into line 3 of the field the old contents 
suddenly returned when I clicked in the cell. When I hit the arrow key 
to go to the next cell in the line, the rest of the previous contents 
of the line reappeared.

How can I clear this field so I can put a new text file in it, (with 
just column headers?)

Thanks!
