I am developing an asp application, in that I am using global.asa for connecting to database here is the code for connection string.

Application("Conn_TestGovbergConnectionString") = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Data Source=VCNSQL88.webhost4life.com,1433;User Id=test;PASSWORD=test;Initial Catalog=test;"

and I am calling it in index.asp like this.

VB

Dim objConn
Set objConn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
objConn.Mode = 3
objConn.cursorlocation = 3
objConn.Open (Application("Conn_TestGovbergConnectionString"))

It is giving error like this.

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
/staging1/index.asp, line 9

Can anyone help me to solve this?

Looks like you're using ODBC but you haven't defined a ODBC data source in control panel. Open Control Panel, choose "Set up data sources (ODBC)" and define a new DSN. After that use that DSN name as your data source in the connection string.
