Actually, you and Tom are onto something there. During my recent v15 to v17 
conversion MSC reported PICTS on some auto generated list forms which I then 
simply deleted. As Tom points out, they are easy to spot on the forms as they 
have the red X.

Subject: Re: v15 - How to get an (form) object into a blob?

    I *think* that 4D's auto generated list form (and maybe entry form) may 
have PICTS as part of their creation
     for example the list form has 2 static pictures which form a backgrounders 
behind the fields and titles being displayed.
    
    I will try the copy paste idea tomorrow - I can not get a 64 bit version of 
4D running on the OS I am on currently (at least I do not think so . v16 
doesn't run until OS X 10.11(?) (13?) either way we are not there yet
