How to remove columns from search results table?

This question was asked before, but not really answered. I have a search that returns columns dynamically created so I don't know the specific column/field names to include, but I do know the columns/fields that I need to remove so the graph will total and display properly. Is there a way to remove those columns?

Are you looking for fields command?

Remove the "host" and "ip" fields.

... | fields - host, ip

Table Name:TempDay
Filed Name: AttendanceDate
Code:
Dim curDatabase As DAO.Database
Dim tblPersons As DAO.TableDef
Set curDatabase = CurrentDb
Set TempDay = curDatabase.TableDefs("TempDay")
DoCmd.RunSQL "ALTER TABLE TempDay DROP COLUMN AttendanceDate"
‘For deleting more than one column try below
DoCmd.RunSQL "ALTER TABLE TempDay DROP COLUMN Second Column Name"
DoCmd.RunSQL "ALTER TABLE TempDay DROP COLUMN Third Column Name"

the question is not that clear but you can always use |fields -col1,col2 to remove the column. There is no harm if they don't exist as well..
