Turloch's suggestion worked for me.

This is what I put in for the various fields:

Userid: sa
Password:
Hostname: <servername>
Port: <portnumber>/<databasename>;instance=<instancename>

When I clicked the connect button, it connected me.  Thanks Turloch!

Express, so I know that the user id / password combination I am using is
correct.  Can anybody shed some light on this?  My ultimate goal is to
migrate Sql Server data to the Oracle database.  The vendor says there
is no code in the Sql Server database - just data in tables.

I am from Oracle SQLDeveloper (Migration) development, Sam confirmed
the  following workaround for connecting to the non default instance
of SQLServer on the same port.

Please contact us via the SQLDeveloper forum [not sure if I am allowed
to give links here] .

Workaround supplied by another customer:

This took some figuring out but I cracked it in the end....

SQLServer tab:

Hostname: <servername>
Port: <portnumber>/<databasename>;instance=<instancename>

so for me the Port field looks like this: 1433/Gaffa;instance=SQL01

That should now connect to a named instance SQL Server.
