Using a BOI macro in Excel, I can, with a single copy command, paste a value to unlimited DocumentPassword fields in PR_EmployeeDocuments, but unlike DFD&M, I can't clear the cell to an empty string. Neither the SetValue nor the SetValueNoValidation methods are unable to do this. I get the message "The Document Password is required." DocumentPassword is an encrypted field, but by storing a random character there in either my BOI app or DFD&M and checking it with the Paperless button in Employee Maintenance, it appears empty. I don't have a way to test for whether a resulting document would be without a password, so let me know if you can test this for your purposes or if this sparks any interest.

Interesting, @Dan Burleson, thanks.  We're just going with manual entry via DFDM for the approx 200 records.

Over here in Croatia having fun not thinking about Sage but I am following the threads here while my wife is not in the stateroom.

I am at a disadvantage as my VPNs are restricted while out of the country so I can't pull up a copy of Sage.

But I am thinking there is a reset employee password functionality under Paperless Form maintenance.  As I recall, you have the ability to set/reset (?) here.

Again, grasping straws.  Heading back to the ship's bar to dull the sunburn.

@Jeff Schwenk  I was going to recommend contacting IT and asking them to remove the Croatia geofencing... then again, absolutely not!..  You're on vacation.  Put the computer away and go back to the bar and order a double.
