Thanks Arnaud, Currently none of our tables have the "Records definitively deleted” unchecked - but that does not mean this attribute was not unchecked sometime in the past. (I am Inheriting this application…)
Interesting observation: I took three of our currently unused tables which were showing the “Checking list of deleted records…” message during MSC Verify. They were empty (no records). I truncated each table and ran MSC Verify again. This time “Checking list of deleted records…" did not appear. Obviously record headers (or sim) were left behind from a past delete. Thanks for your suggestion. It certainly sparked some ideas!
