I think that may have worked - although I'll know tomorrow if scheduled refresh works.

 

So I think the missing info from the documentation is that "basic" authentication is synonymous with "database authentication" when talking about Azure SQL databases.  That was not obvious to me as "basic" usually means HTTP Basic Auth.

 

Thanks again for your help.
