Port MySql data from Windows to Linux

Hi,
I have an application in c++ using ODBC 3.0 API which reads ExcelData and write into MYSQl database.This is working fine on Windows. I am using the same application to read data from Excel File in Windows to MYSQL Database on Linux. For this I created a DSN on Windows with myLinux machine address as MYSQL host, Database name which is in my Linux machine. I have loaded ODBC 2.50.39 Drivers for MySQl on LInux. When I run the above app on Windows giving the abive created DSNname/uer/paswd I'm getting the following error:

"The driver doesn't support the version of ODBC Behaviour that the application requested
where i'm wrong?
Is it possible to connect to mysql DB on linux from application running on windows? Can any body help me ..

It's URGENT!!!!!!!!
thanks and Regards ,
