Inaccurate Error Messages for MSSQL

Hi,
Could you check the application logs to see what is the exact message text underneath? This is located in Help-View Application Logs

It will ask for the username & password repeatedly and never write anything to the log.

My testing steps are as follows:
1) Open RDM and connect with manually entered username & password to verify functionality and close RDM.
2) Disconnect the network connection on the server hosting MSSQL.
3) Open RDM and repeat step 1 for about a dozen times and check the log file each time to verify no changes.

Could you try to set the debug level to 1 in File->Options | Advanced?

Still freezes for a bit, won't let me move or dismiss the upgrade window, and tells me bad username & password without putting anything in the log.

However if I am lazy and just pause the SQL service on the server I do get the same response but with a log entry:

[1/8/2014 7:37:29 PM]ERROR SILENT System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: SQL Server service has been paused. No new connections will be allowed. To resume the service, use SQL Computer Manager or the Services application in Control Panel.

----------
not as big of a deal but still an inaccurate error message.

Hi,
I have found the problem. We had two different places where we were showing the error message and one of it was missing some details. This will be much better in the next beta release. Thank you very much for your help.
