Hi Barend,

How am I gonna make it Visible?

For a start, try mapping the machine you are trying to access on the local (test) machine. See if you can connect (just a test). If you can connect then you at least know where your problem lies, if not -obviously- there's something else...

Hi Batman,

Make sure your SQL server is visible through the VPN. SBO is designed to run on a domain therefore the SQL server hosting the DB must be visible/accesable.
