Fix for Duplicated Past Appointments

In Ver. 4.7.67 I'd made an improvement to guard against a just-discovered vulnerability that could, potentially, result in an occasional loss of an appointment in an office that has multiple users simultaneously working in appointments (such small, behind-the-scenes improvements as that one are not generally announced here; indeed, for every more noteworthy improvement as here announced there are twenty or more that receive no official notice). 

Anyway, it turned out there was a flaw in how that improvement was made, and it resulted in appointments for past days (as viewed when you PageUp in the DispatchMap) duplicating.  In fact, after each night's archive they'd duplicate again --  so, for a date, say, five days ago, you'd end up showing five instances of each appointment. 

This release includes a procedure that will fix those duplications.  To run the procedure, open your DispatchMap, and on your keyboard hit Shift-Ctrl-Alt/R (the "R" is for "R"emove duplicates).  Just follow the prompts, and the procedure will fix your data.
