Good morning everyone,  
Hoping somebody could point me in the right direction.  
I am using an easy chart to display historical data stored in a database. My database connection is valid and I can see the data plotted in the designer, however, when I launch my project there is a big red box on top of my chart and I am not able to visualize any data in the chart. Judging by the icon next to the database icon, there is a problem with the connection but I am not sure where to look.

Here are some images attached. Thanks everyone!

Here’s my easy chart in the designer.

Here’s my easy chart when I launch the project:

Have you checked the client permissions on your project properties?
