Here is my logic on why it should be OK to delete the duplicates.....

dmNavigation_aObjectIDs

simply contains a REFERENCE to an existing object.  There should be no
other relationships to worry about with entries in this table (as long
as I only delete ONE entry).

I dont believe there would be any other entries in any other tables
that I would have to worry about.

I would pull all this data back into a testing environment - except
that is in "limbo" land at the moment with a large number of server
upgrades and replacements we are doing at present.  So, unfortunately,
I dont have that luxury but still have to resolve the problem.

Let me know if the "logic" sounds...... sound.

Regards,
Gary
