Hey guys,

I have a client that is using a SQL database driven software. SQL and
the databases are housed on a separate server, and the software is
installed on the workstation. We use a connection string to connect
the database.

Well, they are completely down with messages, "object reference not
set to an instance of an object" and "sql server does not exist".
Does anyone know of a tool or application that I could use to see if
they can query or connect to the database from their local
workstation. They are not running SQL software on the local
workstations. I can query the database just fine when remoted to
their SQL server.
