MSSQL 2008 is accessible through the 2005 interface.

When you create the connection use Password Passthrough.

If you're pointing to your local MS SQL Server database from a WebFOCUS reporting server that's not on your local machine, then localhost cannot be used - try the computer name. In fact, open SQL Server Enterprise Manager and take a look at the name of the server - that's what you should be using - whether the WebFOCUS reporting server is local or not...
