MSSQL connection error

Unknown

Hi,

When attempting to connect to a Microsoft SQL Server database, we get an error: "A network related or instance specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections."

I can connect using Execute Query, and weve opened up the firewall to the server as well. Is this an error on our end or is there something else here were missing?

Thanks

Hello,

Please check the attached MS documentation about connection-related errors and resolution steps. These steps are in order of the most basic problems to more complex problems.
