  Hello -

  I would have to assume there is an issue with your data source settings.

  Are you able to test the connection?

  Hi

   

  This error happens when our client is overseas using VPN. Will ask him to test connection when he goes overseas.

  How to solve if there is such connection error?

  Hi.

  The answer provided in this Microsoft Social MSDN posting might help.

  It could be related to permissions or to the configuration of the SQL server (not allowing remote connections).

  Troubleshooting would probably involve seeing if the client can cannot through SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS).  This technique could be use by the system administrator to adjust an setting to make it possible to connect to the server while on VPN.
