Hello!

I'v been noticing that my apps are not running if I am not connected myself to the SQL database. Which creates a problem for my app users in other parts of the world since I am unconnected to the server when I leave work. I was wondering if there is a possibility to allow for the app to run while unattended, meaning it doesn't need me to be online for it to work. I'm pretty sure there has to be a work around for this. please help!!

all best and happy holidays!

Where are you hosting your SQL Server database? Is in on-premise rather than SQL Azure? If so, where have you installed SQL Server? Is it on the work computer that you normally use?

Hello Tim! Thanks for your reply,

Our SQL server database is hosted on-premises and it is installed in the Virtual Machine. The app is hosted on the VM but the SQL connection from where it is pulling the data is still linked to the SQL connection to my user name.
