I have SF 1.6.6. loaded on a Vista machine with VS2008 and SQL Server 2008. The app we are developing works fine under SQL 2008 once we added on extra SQL reference (I forget which one).

I just loaded Stratafix to check out how the experts do it and Stratafix certainly seemed to load ok. I attached to the mdf and can read the tables ok in management studio. When I start Stratafix I get the normal attach to db dialogue which generates the error: Internal Server Connection - Could not authenticate the SQL Server. We use Windows authentication.

The error details are as follows:

DataLayerException
  An error occurred while creating a new DataLayer for the business object.
DataLayerException
  The DataSourceKey [] is not defined.

Is the issue that we are using SQL Server 2008? If it is, is there a work around?
