Deploying A New Field

We're using Eclipse to deploy some changes we've made on a devsandbox to another testsandbox

Specifically,

we've added:

custom field to the Opportunity Standard object.

Worth noting is that the testsandbox, has 2 additional fields on the Opportunity (test1,test2) which do not feature on the devsandbox.

When we get to the

"Deployment Plan (Step 3 of 4)" in Eclipse,

we, Opportunity listed,

but in the "Apply Action?" column it says "No Action" and won't let us deploy our additional field.

The tip is

"Dependent component, parent or metadata, is not deployable"

Can anyone explain what this means.

I was expecting that the "Validate Deployment" would fail because it would detect 2 fields it doesn't have locally but not this.

Explanation anyone?

Thanks

Dan
