information:
The database is now known as SDS Sales. Enter in the SQL Server Computer Name or IP Address, along with the SDS Sales Database Name in the appropriate fields and select [Save Settings].
NOTE: If the user is mobile, and cannot view Windows Computer Names via the network when establishing a remote connection (i.e. over VPN), it is suggested to enter the IP Address of the server name.
