How did you post more than one copy of the same invoice?  Or, put
another way, what are you seeing that makes you think you posted the
same invoice twice?  Perhaps did you use the "Duplicate Transaction"
interface on a posted Invoice Transaction?  If so, alas, you've just
successfully shot yourself in the foot, the only recovery is to go to a
backup file and not do that.
