    Adding APS ClickToPay for customer on Sage 100 2017 Premium.  When attempting to add the ClickToPay links on the SO_Invoice form, I'm receiving a prompt for the MAS_Reports password.  When entering the password I believe is correct, receive error for login failed...database vendor code 18456.  Located the KB id 77186 (see below).  It states I need to run the SQL Settings Utility to correct the MAS_Reports password.  I have not used this utility before and am a little tentative to run.  I've been in the utility and selected Test Connection and all is well.  But, I still can't get through the MAS_Reports password in Crystal.

    • The MAS_Reports password may be incorrect or has become corrupted
    • There is a problem with authentication/login to the database.

    Use the Sage utility to change the MAS_Reports password to a value you know... enter SQL credentials to save the new password to SQL.  I've never had a problem doing this on the fly.  I'd only change MAS_User password when nobody was in Sage 100.
    Note: the SQL password must be changed using the Sage utility so Sage knows the new value.

    Changing the MAS_Reports password to the SQL password seems to have fixed it....no one screaming yet.  
    Thanks Kevin!
