This forum was extremely helpful. Examples showing exactly how to browse around and search, find, and delete all forms and different types of the problem are very effective compared to "trying to explain" this process. The links to better explain the examples were just an added bonus. I appreciate the the usefulness of this thread and the time that was taken to create it.
