In Word 2000, can you unlink a specified field throughout the document in one
shot?

Sure. To unlink all SEQ fields, for example, use this macro:
Dim f As Field
For Each f In ActiveDocument.Fields
If f.Type = wdFieldSequence Then
f.Unlink
End If
Next f

Well this worked for the fields in the main text, but how do I unlink in
headers too? Also, my field is DocProperty for which I have several custom
codes, eg, DocProperty "Compound", DocProperty "Species" etc... How can I
specify a specific code to unlink? Thanks so much for your prompt help - I've
spent 2 days trying to figure this out as a "newbie"

Graham's article provides examples for searching all stories of a
document. But, as far as I can tell, it does not explain how to find a
specific "flavor" of a field, for example, how to find { DOCPROPERTY
"Compound" } but not { DOCPROPERTY "Title" }. For that, you would have
to investigate the field code directly:
If Instr(UCase$(f.Code.Text), "COMPOUND") Then
f.Unlink
End If

Stefan,
Apparently you where paying closer attention to the question than me ;-)
I will add an example of looking to this level in the article when I get a
chance.
Thanks.

Is there any way to unlink the fields without opening the document, using code?

No. The document has to be open for you to make any changes to it.
