HI,
I am trying to connect to SQL database on our server using Database Explorer.  I can set up the connection and the test button says it is successful.  I will add that  I need to suppy the database name as the drop down doesn't show any of the names of the databases.  When I go to the Database Explorer window I open a connection and the window blinks and than I get the error:  Connection not found.  Please open a connection.  My computer is Windows 8 64 bit.  By the way I can set up a succesful ODBC connection outside of Mathematica.
Any ideas of common problems?
Thanks.
