Duplicate field selected, exception code: 5077 - But it wasn't

I'm familiar with the duplicate field selected message.  It usually means that I've specified the same field twice or I have the same label for two different fields.

However, neither of the above explain my current problem.

I get the following from an sfdescribe:

Service_Number_Check__c

Name

OwnerId

Account__c

Service_Name__c

Service_Number_Check__c

1st instance

 

 

 

 

2nd instance


This data is from a fairly small custom object.  I added an new field called "Dummy_field__c" to see if this might help.  I then di another sfdescribe and got 3 instances of the offending field.  The "Service_Number_Check__c" is a formula.  I suspect that this is relevant.

Hi,
 
I had a similar problem and found a solution somehwere on here.
 
I ran the describe Sforce object, but selected close when I got to the filter stage so that I just got the column headings in my file. I then deleted the duplicate column heading(s) and then ran the query table data.
 
This worked for me. No idea why the fields duplicated as there were definately no duplications in my custom object!
 
Anyway, hope this helps!

your walkaround works, thanks!
