Hi everyone,
In the past, I've remoted into our domain controller which houses our SQL database. From there I've been using the Microsoft SQL Database manager to run queries. However, I would prefer to do this from my desktop and not have to remote in whenever I need to look something up.
I've found that Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 can create a connection where I can do my work. I've created the connection (or I believe so). "Testing the connection" is successful and in the Database Explorer window I can see my database and the folders of tables, views, etc. However, all of these folders are empty..... Any ideas about how/why this is happening? When I choose the database everything in the settings pops up and I use the same authetication I use on the domain controller.... Everything looks fine... but no actual data.
