<div>Dear all,</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>We were for the first time trying to visualize some data held in SQL Server 2008 by a remote collaborator. The data are held in a table with a spatial column.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I was hoping to use the new feature in QGIS, but was getting into troubles. After filling the DB parameters (in the "pink" icon in QGIS 1.8) I got this message:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>"<span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap; ">Driver not loaded Driver not loaded</span>"</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We filled all parameters in the connection window, without using Provider/DSN.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
