Is there a way to back out a Simple Agent in the Domino Directory?

I created an Agent in the Domino Directory on a 6.0.2 CF2 Server that runs a Simple Action - “Modify Fields by Form”. Basically, all it does is populate the Title, Company, Phone Number, and Address Fields of a Person Document. The Agent ran fine without any problems and populated the fields as desired.

The problem is that when I try to Edit the Person Document to change any field, I receive a Dialog Box Titled “Field Contains Incorrect Value” with the prompt “Cannot convert text to a number”. My only option is to click “OK” and choose not to Save the Person Document.

Does anyone have an idea as to what the problem is? I have ran many Simple Action Agents in the Domino Directory before but, this is the first time this has ever happened. This is a fairly New Server but, it is not setup any differently than previously built Servers. I have tried refreshing and replacing the design and I have had the Server sign the names.nsf.

Is there a way to back out the Simple Agent?

Any help with this problem is appreciated. Thanks.

first - NEVER run agents on your production NAB without testing on a copy or a dev environement.

second, without seeing a the agent, it seems that you have entered a field value that is incorrect for that particular field. Without using an agent with error correction, it will just dump whatever nonesense you throw at it into the field you assign !!!

third, to fix the problem I would run an agent to change the properties of the element you are trying to change from protected to unprotected (most personal folders for example are protected from design change)

Good LUck and next time use a dev box first
