Similar problem here. From time to time when I check with MSC I get a message about orphaned blobs. I went the compact way and the blobs were gone, but popped up again some weeks later. Funny thing is: that table does not even HAVE a blob field. Go figure... Now I just ignore those errors but still hope that 4D will find and fix it. I prefer a datafile that comes out "clean" when I check with MSC.
