DSN file to localhost doesn't work on other computers

Question

I got an access application with a SQL Server backend and I'm trying to replicate the database for an offline version.

So every laptop got there own SQL Server database and I made a DSN file to localhost for the linked tables.

ODBC;Description=localhost;DRIVER=SQL Server;SERVER=localhost\SQLEXPRESS;Trusted_Connection=Yes;APP=Microsoft Office 2010;DATABASE=SMD;TABLE=dbo.ClientsListColumns

As I thought, it works on mine but not on the other computers

I got that error

Is there any way to make only 1 DSN file?

Thank you
