  A vendor has a SQL azure database I need to connect to.

  They advised I will need the oledb 19 drivers, which i installed. The documentation says the 64 bit installer installs both 32 and 64 bit drivers, and done a restart.

  I can connect to the vendors azure sql database from Visual Studio, and from SSMS v17.9.1.

  I cannot however connect via a UDL file, SSMS 19.1 or azure data studio.

  This leads me to think it could be a 32 bit / 64 bit issue.

  I believe older SSMS uses 32 bit drivers, as does Visual Studio, but Azure Data Studio & UDL both use the 64 bit driver.

  The error I am getting is as follows:

  A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - The specified network name is no longer available.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 64)

  

  Appreciate any advice on how to resolve this as it has eaten up a lot of time.
