I keep getting the following error message when trying to connect to ANY data source - even sources that I had already successfully connected to in the past:

Any idea how to fix this?

Then try to connect data source to check if there is any issue.

Thank you for the response.  I tried that, but it did not work.  I'm going to uninstall and reinstall to see if that helps.
