Hello Coy/all,

Thank you for the quick response!

Is there anyway to modify the code to lower the minimum? Or is there anyway you could provide me the UPDATE query that I could modify to work? I am not up on the Oracle DB and not sure where I need to update this. I would prefer to change the code line where this requirement is enforced to reduce it if I can. This way if I have other users I can just create without doing any UPDATE queries. 

Thank you for your time and have a great day!
