  • Hello,

    If you access that SQL Server manually in SSMS with that credential information,  can you access that server well?

    In addition, this issue should be place on Data Platform Development Forums
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/dataplatformdev so you can get better and quicker response as this forum here is for the database development tools of visual studio.

    Thanks.
