Syntax

<Result> = <Source>.ChangePassword(<New password>)

<Result>: Boolean

True if the password was modified,
False otherwise. HError is used to identify the error.

<Source>: Type corresponding to the specified source

Name of HFSQL data file (defined in the analysis) to use.

<New password>: Character string (with quotes)

New password that will be used for the data file.

Remarks

If the data file is already password protected, this password must be specified with <Source>.Password before using <Source>.ChangePassword.
To modify the password of a data file, you must have the rights to perform an automatic modification (hRightsAutoModif constant). These rights can be defined by HModifyFileRights.
This function starts an automatic modification of the data file. If the data file was encrypted with a different password, it will be entirely re-encrypted with the new password. This operation can take quite a long time.
