ODBC Driver Manager Error

Question

After installing a new program and opening it for my business it states ODBC Driver Manger data source name not found and no default drivers specified. This same program runs on my dell home computer just fine so I know its not the program. How can I fix this error or update a patch to fix this?

This probably would be better posted in the software forum, but you must create a DSN (data source name) that connects to a valid database in order for the program to work.

Go into the control panel, admin tools, ODBC data sources on the working system and note the connection name, settings, and username. Then create the same on the system in question (as a user DSN if only you need it, or a file DSN if all users on the system need it).
