When running into any issues connecting a database to the CRESuite Integrations (ie ARGUS, MRI, Yardi, etc.) you may need to install Sql Server Management Studio (SSMS) Here is the link - [https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2094583](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2094583) ---

This can be helpful to help locate the server for the integration you are looking to setup. Once you open SSMS try to connect to the local server. In most cases, the following should also work. > localhost\SQLEXPRESS Once logged in, you _should_ see your active databases.
