Have you looked at the event viewer?
Have you refereshed the view - disconnected/reconnected?
It sounds like it hasn't completed starting up.

see

and do a search for sql server 14258

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.
