Yah, success!! I overlooked that the orphans after the repair were located under _project_ forms not table forms!
Then, every time I tried to select one I got into some endless loop where 4D refused to let me select the form as it was damaged. Eventually I managed it by holding down the Enter key. Once the form was open I deleted all objects from each of the 2 offending forms and was able to trash the form. The structure now verifies 100%!!

It has been suppressed from your form." Having this come up every time is going to be a PITA :(( Is there a way to fix this?

So, repairing the structure eliminated the previous FO4D warnings but I now have 9 new ones under Check Project Forms: ___Orphan___31086.Page1.Picture1 uses a deprecated picture format: PICT. ___Orphan___31086.Page1.Picture2 uses a deprecated picture format: PICT. ___Orphan___31086.Page1.Picture3 uses a deprecated picture format: PICT. ___Orphan___31086.Page1.Picture4 uses a deprecated picture format: PICT. ___Orphan___31086.Page1.Picture5 uses a deprecated picture format: PICT. ___Orphan___31086.Page1.Picture6 uses a deprecated picture format: PICT. ___Orphan___31086.Page1.Picture7 uses a deprecated picture format: PICT. ___Orphan___31086.Page1.Picture8 uses a deprecated picture format: PICT. ___Orphan___31086.Page1.Picture9 uses a deprecated picture format: PICT. Any ideas on how to find and/or remove these?

I know probably I can just ignore them but it would be nice to have zero warnings!

Did you do a “repair” of the structure? Not “compact”, but “repair”.
