Looking for the SQL Express 2012 driver and a connection problem

Hi. I've just installed MS SQL Express 2012 on my machine (for some development I've to do), and then activate its server. When I try to create a new database connection in my registered DbVis 9.0, I face two problems: 1) I cannot find the .jar/.zip driver file when I choose "SQL Server 2008 (Micorsoft JDBC driver" option. Do you know where I could get them? 2) If I use the standard "SQL Server JTDS" drive, I'm able to create the database conenction (I could even ping the server), but when I try to open the connection I get this message: "I/O Error: SSO Failed: Native SSPI library not loaded. Check the java.library.path system property."... Other lof info are: "Type: java.sql.SQLException - SQL State: 08S01" ... What can I do? Just for information: the native SQL Server Management Studio works fine (but I'd like to use my beloved DbVisualizer!) Thanks in advance Sergio +Italy+

*Driver found*, from Microsoft web site! I could go on....! Sorry for my previous post...

Still problems: 1) Using Microsoft Driver I cannot force anymore "Authenticatoin method: Windows", since the field disappears, and I keep getting errors on authentication: Long Message: Login failed for user ''.

Now I'm able to connect the database :-) The other issues are still open, but I stop working on them for a -long- while

OK. Thanks for the info. Hoping in next future versions.... Anyway I keep using DbVis when possible: it's really a great product!
