There might be a problem with the connection string.

Go to this Folder

C:\Users\User\Desktop\Northwind.dbo.Customers


and check if your database is still there.

Hi

I think you are missing the connection string to the Northwind database, so QV is assuming this is a file. Also, you will need a SQL SELECT rather than just a LOAD to retrieve data from a database.
