<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">2.18.8 was quickly replaced by 2.18.9 I think it had some issues – I don’t know if any of them relate to your problem.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Are you adding the layers from the browser window or the add layer menu?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Are you using a named ODBC DSN or putting the SQL Server Host details directly into QGIS?  I had mini dumps when I was using named ODBC connections.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I’m afraid the only thing I can suggest, if you haven’t already tried, is to try switching the way you are connecting and adding the layers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
