ODBC/SQL Server Connection Error

I am attempting to connect my MS Access 2013 front end to a SQL Server 2012 backend using the code below.

I am getting the error message "Optional feature not implemented" from the ODBC driver.  I am using the SQL Server driver but I also have access to ODBC Driver 11 and ODBC driver 17 for SQL server, but I still get the same error message regardless of which of these three drivers are used.  What am I doing wrong?

 

Dim cnn As New ADODB.Connection
Dim cmd As New ADODB.Command

Dim connString As String
Dim prmEmployeeID As New ADODB.Parameter
Dim prmYearBeginDate As New ADODB.Parameter


connString = "DSN=FullOnAccounting;Driver={SQL Server};Server=AMF\MSSQL;Database=Full_Up_Accounting;TrustedConnection=Yes;"
cnn.Open (connString)   <--Error occurs here

      Thank you for you response. I discovered that I was mistaken and the error message that I am seeing is not at all related to my connection, it comes from further down in my code when I attempt to call a SQL Server stored procedure. I will mark this issue as closed and open a new thread if I am not able to resolve it,
