I tried to put &quot;myserver.data.dev.mscds.com&quot; and &quot;https://data.database.windows.net/v1/&quot; as the data source but neither worked. For initial catalog I tried to leave it blank.<br/> Thanks,<br/> dk<br/>Tue, 16 Jun 2009 18:39:14 Z2009-06-16T18:39:14Zhttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ssdsgetstarted/thread/9140b5c3-cc71-4cb3-b9a7-0d40e8d586dd#cffb3328-3126-437d-a60a-7e82f21094fdhttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ssdsgetstarted/thread/9140b5c3-cc71-4cb3-b9a7-0d40e8d586dd#cffb3328-3126-437d-a60a-7e82f21094fdAaron Stanley Kinghttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Profile/en-US/?user=Aaron%20Stanley%20KingAs far as I know the SQL logins haven't been turned on.  You still have to use the REST connection and query it like you would Astoria via the web service.  That is probably the issue.  SDS is still in V1.  V2 is due out any time now.<hr class="sig">Aaron Stanley King - Microsoft Consultant - Perpetual Technologies, Inc. - http://www.perptech.com Tue, 16 Jun 2009 18:45:08 Z2009-06-16T18:45:08Z
