Unable to connect to database with same access as two others I can connect to - severe error

Hi there,

 

I am starting to use Power BI for the first time and am having a little trouble with a particular database.

 

I have created a user with access to a number of databases under user mapping on the SQL server with the access db_datareader so they can have view access to the DB. This has been provided to 3 different databases.

 

Inside power BI I am able to connect to the SQL server with this account and query 2 out of 3 databases (The one I am unable to connect to being the most important, as it has the tables I wish to query)

 

As shown below:

What am I missing?

I managed to find the SQL dump file for this error message - would that help?

I'm not entirely sure what I am looking for.
