Leftover references to long-ago-removed fields in querydefs?

[jhgarrison]

I'm finding that in exported query definitions I'll sometimes see a reference to a field that no longer exists, left over in the set of BEGIN...END blocks near the top of the .BAS file. Example

Begin
    Begin
        dbText "Name" ="u.UsersPendingRecalc_Orders.hoursUsed"
        dbInteger "ColumnWidth" ="1455"
        dbBoolean "ColumnHidden" ="0"
        dbLong "AggregateType" ="-1"
    End
...

The field hoursUsed no longer exists in the query or in the referenced query.

I think this is benign, but I'd like to find a way to make Access recompile the query and keep it up to date. I sometimes use grep over the exported source tree just to make sure I've covered all the bases when making a change, and these spurious hits can be a pain to verify.

I already tried dbengine.Idle dbRefreshCache but it had no effect.

So I guess my question is how can I force Access to rebuild the query so that when exported it doesn't contain these old, meaningless references?

Thanks

Additional info: It seems that when a query is updated to remove or rename an output column, the .SQL file gets updated but the .BAS file doesn't get cleaned up. Can Access be made to clean up the .BAS file and sync to the actual query?
