OLE DB Problem, no database in Select database...

Hi

I am trying to set up an OLE DB connection to a Microsoft SQL server.(OLE DB Provider for Microsoft SQL server).

I use trusted connection.

Test connection works.

After that I press Load and Select Database...  Problem is, there is no database in the list.

This works in QlikView, on the same server using the same credentials.

I can connect (and Select database) to other databases (different DB server though), both using trusted connection and regular user/pwd.

Port 1433 is open.

Any ideas?

Edit:

I tried setting up an ODBC connection also. Works fine in QlikView but not in Sense.

We have finally found the reason why it didn't work.

The service account also need the same access rights.

If you add access rights using an AD group the service account has be in it.

Seems logic, but this was a prototype that was never to reloaded and published.

Same issue here, did you find a fix for this?

Seems odd, I found I can put any old password / username (even if it doesn't exist) in there and it validates as OK.

Can ping the SQL server fine.

Correct user and password combination, still cannot select database.

Error returned is "Connector Connect Error {0}"

ODBC works fine.

Hi

No waiting for a SQL account.

ODBC is not working for me.

Yes, the validation part is interesting..
