SQL Server Connection Error

Hi,

 

I am connected to a SQL server using DirectQuery but this is what displays in the query editor for one of the fields: 

DTaylor888_0-1631792006320.png

And the other fields display this:

DTaylor888_1-1631792055593.png

Does this have to do with setting up a parameter or another problem? Thanks

There is no a specific cause or a fix to this error, you need to detect the problem in the query codes , take a look at others with same problem. The OP solved himself in the solution.

@Anonymous Is the SQL Server using a self-signed certificate?
