[MS Design Tools] - Catastrophic failure.... help!!!

[RyanGlas]

For some reason I am having issues connecting to my SQL Database online. When I am finally able to view the tables in the database I go to "open table" and select "return all rows". Then out of nowhere I get a message saying. "An unexpected error happened during this operation. [MS Design Tools] - Catastrophic failure" Does anyone know what this means??

Also when I click ok on that another message comes up.


"The connection to SQL Server 'server name' has been broken. The connection to the SQL Server is broken. Do you want to try reconnecting to it?" I select yes and it's ok for a minute. The strange thing is that my internet connection is not broken during this time. This issue just started this morning. Any ideas on what is going on.

I do have the server pack 3 installed as well.

thank you!

It sure sounds like a networking problem. It may be good to try all sorts of connectivity to the server, such as file sharing or terminal service. If you get intermittent problems then that should be an indication of a bad network connectivity.
