Unable to log in to Apex Explorer using my sandbox user name and password

I just downloaded Apex Explorer and was able to log in using my production user name and password but for some reason my sandbox user name and password do not work.  I am able to log in to my sandbox via Salesforce site.
 
Any ideas why I am not able to log in?
 
Any help with this highly appreciated.

Are you changing the URL to point to the sandbox instance instead of production?
for example,
instead of na1.salesforce.com
use cs1.salesforce.com
 
where the "cs1" would be part of your sandbox URL.

Yes.  The URLs are different.

Sorry,

That is all I had to do to get it to work, plus using the dev login instead of the production one.

I not sure I understand.  Apex Explorer is a stand alone (not browser based) tool.  It only has two login fields: Username, Password.  So I am not sure where I would specify sandbox URL.  Can you please clarify.

Thanks

If you open the explorer, and go to the Tools menu, select Options.

On the login tab, you will see an "Endpoint" item, that is where the URL is specfied.  For production, it would be something like:

https://www.salesforce.com/services/Soap/u/13.0

for Dev, you would need to change it like this:

https://cs1.salesforce.com/services/Soap/u/13.0 where the cs1 would be the proper address for your sandbox.

That worked.  Thanks a lot.
