Hi, I got an error after I click OK at 1:31. But my pop up at 1:31 is a bit different, I can't choose for log on to the server so I need to use a username. But, is there any specific username that I need to use? or I can just make up any username? Plus, I can't select the database, it will pop up the error "Connection failed with initialization error. Check name and authentication settings." Can you help me sir? I've tried to solve it for a week, but still didn't know how to do it. I'm new in this field =(
