Are you using the most current release of QuoteWerks?
Version 24.0 Build 4
Issue:

I am receiving the following error:

Error opening connection in ConnOpen()
Error (-2147467259) Login failed for user ''. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection., NativeError=18452

ConnectString=UserID=;Password={PasswordIsHidden};Data
Source=<"databasename".local;Provider=sqloledb;


Cause:

QuoteWerks Corporate Edition requires that the SQL Server is running in Mixed Mode. Your SQL server may be set to Windows Authentication.

Solution:

Launch SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and right-click on the QuoteWerks database and select Properties. On the Security Tab of the SQL Server Properties window, select the Radio Button labeled "SQL Server and Windows."


To change the authentication mode from Windows Authentication Mode (only) to Mixed Mode, use the following steps:
1. Open SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
2. Right-click a server name, and then click Properties.
3. Click the Security tab.
4. Under Authentication, click the SQL Server and Windows option button.
5. Restart SQL Server Service in order for the change to take effect.
