Hi, @Anonymous 

 

You may have to download the ODBC driver you need from Microsoft or from a third party.

You may also have to look up the required connection info that you have to provide. This third-party site - The Connection Strings Reference - contains sample connection strings and more info about data providers and the connection info they require.

 

For further information, please refer to the following document.

Connect to an ODBC Data Source (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard) 

 

Best Regards

Allan
