In a Windows environment you have to use an ODBC Manager to set up an
ODBC Data Source definition for your database before it can be used.
Then you configure the application to use the Data Source. This causes
the ODBC driver to read the correct Data Source when you start the
application. 

Install a Windows ODBC Manager if you haven't already done so, and use
it to define your ODBC Data Source. Then configure your application to
use that Data Source and start it.
