You either don't have the datasource defined on the Host machine or the account running the program doesn't see it.

Ensure that the DSN is defined on the other server. You can make the data source a system data source in order to be visible to all users.

Also check that you're using the correct version of the ODBC driver. If the app is 32 bit then 32 bit DSN and for 64 bit a 64 bit DSN.
