so I cannot connect BUT at can then save the new source file??



is there a limit to length of DB password maybe?

our passwords are REALLY long...
yes password length limitation

Hi,

Glad you got it resolved.
Sounds like you were receiving a data truncation error against the DB password column.
By default the password column is set to 256 characters, so you will need to manually modify the column 'Password' within the 'ReportViewSource' table.

Please let us know if you run into any other issues.

Regards,
David
