Default ODBC Connection to "Report Name" Failed - Can anyone help?

When I try to print a report it states" ODBC Connection to "Report Name"
Failed. There is a macro on the sidebar that I click on that automatically
prints the reports. But if it was the macro, then wouldn't it say there was
a problem with it and not ODBC Connection? The report is actually pulling
information from a FoxPro database I'm pretty sure. Any suggestions on where
I should start looking to correct the "Failed Connection"?

It sounds like it is trying to find an ODBC connection called "Report Name".
Check your computer control paneladministrative toolsdata sources (ODBC).
Click system DSN tab and see if you can find a data source name called
"Report Name".
If not, configure it. If you are using a new or different computer, check
your old one for these settings.
