Suppose the easiest way (if at all possible) is to contact the former employee and just ask. Otherwise, perhaps a call to Sage??? There is a post under SMI LinkedIn thread from a company that is made up of former FRx coders. They might be able to help. I'll look around for the exact thread. If it is just the catalogue, how about just recreating it? That is assuming that the Row, Column and Tree aspects are unlocked. One of the downsides of passwords. Many, many moons ago, I PW protected a Lotus spreadsheet. When I went to use it a month later, danged if I couldn't remember the magic phrase. Last time I ever locked a worksheet. Here is the LinkedIn post I was referencing. Perhaps they can tell you how to break the code.
