I'm using node-red-contrib-mssql-plus, to connect with a local SQL Express, I already read all the past throubleshooting and i can't find my own.

I tested my connection with de DB with python (pyodbc) just for making sure that the database was accesible through tcp 1433 port.

and i'm still with this message

PD:  
I'm using SQL Server 2019 Express  
version 15.0.2000.5  
Windows 10

The solutión was Delete the \SQLEXPRESS sufix on the servername, just use localhost
