Looks like you have created the function in a different database that you're using. You can:
- create the function in the same database you use
- change the connection to the database where the function is
- use three part notation: database.owner.object

Dbo isn't the server name, it's the owner of the object. You never define the server name in your query, it's part of the connection string.

If the object is owned by another user than dbo you should define the owner.

So even if you change the server name (SQL Server instance) the SQL statements won't be interfered.
