You may get this error while working with ODBC Data Connections in LiveCycle Designer. To fix this problem, you can save database connection in the ODBC list.

Control Panel > Administrator Tools > Data Sources (ODBC)

Add the your connection in to User DSN or System/Machine DSN list. Give a name to it. And then use that name in your LiveCycle Data Connection wizard.
