Use the ODBC Data Source Administrator (available in Windows Control Panel) to create a System DSN or User DSN. Configure the DSN with your connection string details. Then, test the connection through the administrator. If the test fails, it isolates the problem to the ODBC configuration itself, rather than the application code.
