Hi,

 

I have an issue with visuals from direct query. Seems like most of the fail with the error message: "Cannot open server "backe.no" requested by the login. The login failed.. The exception was raised by the IDbConnection interface."
I tried changing one table from Direct Query to Import mode and it worked just fine. 
Any ideas on what's wrong or what I can do?

 

Thanks!
