May be I am missing something here but when I first installed VWD 2012 Express I was able to create and edit databases (add tables, modify columns, add stored procedures etc) but now, no matter which of my projects I go to, I no longer have the ability to edit the database structure.
Within the Database Explorer view of VWD, when I open my database and right click on "Tables" the only menu options I have are "Refresh" and "Properties", "add table" has gone. When I right click on an existing table, once again the usual set of menu options is reduced to "Copy, Refresh and Properties"
If I right click on Data Connections, the option "Create New SQL Server Database" is greyed out.
Looking at the event logs on my computer, I see a pair of errors in the system log whenever I first connect to my database, and those errors are:
1) The following fatal alert was generated:48. Ther internal state is 552
2) The certificate received from the remote server was issued by an untrusted certificate authority. Because of this, none of the data contained in the certificate can be validated. The SSL connection request has failed.
The puzzling this is, I dont recall changning anything on my computer, one day it worked, the next it didn't. The default installation of SQLEXPRESS on my local PC has the "Force Encryption" option set to "No"
Any suggestions as to what is going on?
