Jose_Manuel_Jurado thanks for this. Helped us out. One thing to mention is that when connecting Azure SQL DB, you can't use 4-part queries, so you need to create the Linked Server via T-SQL and include the Initial Catalog. But thanks, since we used this post as proof that you could indeed connect to Azure SQL DB, and I also didn't know about 14000-14999 for DAC.
