at first was getting invalid loggin attempt, but changed from native client 10 to just native
but now i am getting the following error, have tried removing the tbale but recvd same error but for different table
so i think i am having connection problems to the db
i can view the tables and see the contents so not sure what i have wrong.
i know sql but not microsoft sql at all
any help would be much appreciated.

You as a user might have permissions to the backend relational database. When you are deploying then Analysis Services uses the credentials specified in Data Source which by default is the service startup account of Analysis Services which might not have permissions to the relational database. Hence you are seeing this error. Can you please check change the datasource to use your credentials or make sure the service startup account of Analysis Services has permissions?

If this is not a permission issue can you please provide the configuration you are using for relational and analysis services?
