This code worked excellently until I put the connection string into global.asa. What am I doing wrong?

This is the error I get:
Error Type:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified

Here's the code in my asp file:
Dim objConn
Set objConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
objConn.ConnectionString = Application("Web")
objConn.Open
Set Rst = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
strSQL = "Select CompanyName, CustomerID From Customers"
Rst.ActiveConnection = objConn
Rst.Open strSQL, objConn

Here's the code in my global.asa file:
Sub Application_OnStart
Application.Lock
Application("Web") = "CONNECTION STRING"
Application.Unlock
End Sub

If you can help me out at all I'll be very greatful.

Actually I asked this in the wrong forum. I was thinking I was having a problem with my SQL server but obviously my problem is with ASP. Sorry!
