Cannot connect SAP Business Objects Data Services Designer to MS SQL Server

I was getting the following error.
ODBC Call <SQLDriverConnect> for data source <foo> failed:
<[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default
Driver specified>. Notify Customer Support. (BODI-1112346)

If you see this guy try installing the "Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Native Client". You can download it from Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c6c3e9ef-ba29-4a43-8d69-a2bed18fe73c&DisplayLang=en). Scroll about 1/2 way down the page and look for the version for your processor. . . .

Hopes this saves you the frustration I have had. . . .
