OK, I have a solution that works fine on my laptop and my desktop. When I
tried to move the solution to the production server, I keep getting the error
message

ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found
and no default driver specified

Although, we did download and install the driver from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=6ccd8427-1017-4f33-a062-d165078e32b1&displaylang=en

The kicker is that it works fine from my laptop, which during testing, acts
as the web server.

The solutions is backend VB.Net, although I don't see that the code has much
to do with it.

Any suggestions?

I would say that it is a security issue. (asp.net is running under very
restricted account by default).
What OS is your product server running?

Good morning, and thank your for responding.

The server is running Windows 2000 Server and IIS 5.0.

I will check out the asp.net account settings.
