Can't connect to SQL database with VS .NET - object reference error

When using "Choose Data Source" on a GridView object I receive the
error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object".

I can connect and use the database ok when using my own data access
layer within the same program (I'm writing).

Here are the steps I perform.

1. choose a new data source (SQL)
2. Enter the serve name
3. Use Windows Authentication
4. Select the database name.
5. Test connection = OK.
6. Click OK.

I receive the error.

Thanks.
Rich.
