DavidJLitttle  how are you connecting via your active directory?

 

and if you go directly to sql can you see it?

    Hi, if i connect directly via SSMS then i can see all DB's and if i connect via VB.Net connection string then i can happily populate the DB. Its just PowerBI cant see any of the 3 local DB's
