Frederick,
Did you try to search MSDN? This is ODBC problem as a very least...
>From MSDN:

If the DriverCompletion parameter value is SQL_DRIVER_NOPROMPT or 
SQL_DRIVER_COMPLETE_REQUIRED and the language or database comes from the 
connection string and either is invalid, SQLDriverConnect returns SQL_ERROR.

Reference:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/de-de/library/ms131421.aspx

Thank you.
