Topic:
What does Option #55: Clean bad share links do?

Description:
This option is also available in GeoFrame => 3.5.

Option 55 corrects problems associated with sharing and unsharing not completing
properly. There are three types of problems:

- Files have been moved or deleted but shared links remain, causing the project
  to report as missing files belonging to the master project (option 1).
- Ownership of files becomes confused between the master project and an 
  individual project (option 2).
- Shared links remain in the master project even though the share manager 
  reports no shared files (option 3).

For each of these options, option 55 allows you to delete links with or without
confirmation. It also provides a report facility that lists problem links
currently in your project. A logfile is generated with each of the three sub-
options; you are prompted to name this file.

Note: It is recommended that you run the rport first so that you can preview 
what will be removed when you run Option 55.

 PROCEDURE:

1.) Select Option 1 and enter the project name and password

        a name for the logfile.
    2 - Delete without confirmation
        Deletions will occur without confirmation. You are prompted to defind
        a name for the logfile.
    3 - Report (no delete)
        A report will be generated of all bad links and associated files in the
        current project. You are prompted to define a name for the logfile.
    4 - Exit the utility

6.) Select desired option and enter the name you wish to assign the logfile.
