I got this error:

authentication failed: Could not connect with kairali.com//AKR_Kairali_MDB and provided password. The response we got from the server is included below for debugging purposes. (pyodbc.ProgrammingError) ('42000', "[42000] [unixODBC][FreeTDS][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'kairali.com//AKR_Kairali_MDB'. (18456) (SQLDriverConnect)")

I changed password according to recommended help docs but still it is not working

Hi folks! Just popping in to share that the feature request Nick mentioned has been closed. 

If anyone comes across this and runs into trouble connecting to SQL Server 2017, I’d recommend checking out our How to Get Started with SQL Server (MSSQL) and Common Problems with SQL Server (MSSQL) on Zapier guides to ensure everything’s set up correctly. And if you continue to run into issues contact our Support team who will be able to investigate further.

Thanks for your patience on this. Happy Zapping! ⚡

Hi @Saumil!

It looks like you’ve contacted our Support team and an auto-response was sent, to try and provide an automated solution. Because no response was received from you, we assumed that the auto-response solved the problem. I realize that wasn’t made super clear in the message we sent!

You mentioned in your support ticket that you’re trying to connect MS SQL Server 2017. I do see on my end that 2017 is not supported. It’s not listed here: https://zapier.com/help/doc/how-get-started-sql-server-mssql. I’ve added your vote to the feature request, but I don’t have any sort of timeline for when that might be added to the integration.

Our apologies for the frustrating experience when you contacted support. We make our best effort to analyze the contents of the message in order to provide an automatic solution, and sometimes we fall short of that goal.
