    This error message usually occurs when there is an issue with the ODBC driver configuration.

    You can try the following steps:

    1. Check if the ODBC driver is installed on your system. If not, you can download and install the appropriate driver from the Microsoft website.
    2. Check if the ODBC data source is configured correctly. You can do this by going to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Data Sources (ODBC) and checking if the data source is listed.
    3. If the data source is not listed, you can create a new data source by clicking on the "Add" button and following the prompts.
    4. If the data source is listed but still not working, you can try deleting and recreating the data source.
    5. Make sure that the connection string in your application is correct and matches the data source configuration.
