Solution found on this website: It’s likely the shortcut for setting ODBC data sources is pointing to the 32bit data sources instead of 64bit. Go to control panel ->administrative tools –>select data sources(ODBC) –>then right click on that file –>go to properties –>in the shortcut tab ->change the path from%windir%System32odbcad32.exe to%windir%SysWOW64odbcad32.exe and make your connection. The driver for MS Access will work fine now. 007 Der Morgen Stirbt Nie Psx. I use a database called DBA Manufacturing at work that is a Firebird 32 bit program. I have MS Access 2013 on a 64 bit Dell computer. I have both the 32 and 64 bit Firebird ODBC drivers installed on the computer. Before I installed the 64 bit driver, I had the 32 bit ODBC DSN connection testing OK, but Access would not connect.
After I installed the 64 bit driver, the 32 bit connection does not test OK and neither does the 64 bit connection. Although I can see both drivers in the control panel (uninstall programs) they both have exactly the same name except the notation at the end as to the bit size. When I look in the drivers tab of the ODBC Data Source Administrator, only one Firebird/InterBase (r) driver is listed. How do I tell DBA to use the 32 and Access to use the 64 bit drivers?? I have windows server 2012 R2 DataCenter 64bit operating system with MS Office 2013 Professional Plus 64bit installed, I also installed Visual Studio Ultimate 2012 as my development platform.
Since the Jet files are protected OS files, there's no danger installing an older version (a computer that's been kept up-to-date with Windows Update will already have something higher than Jet SP8, but the ODBC drivers are apparently not shipped with the OS in Win7, so this should work).

I have an access database named DrugList located at path(“FDss App StoreDispensing SystemDrugList.accdb” Now, the trouble I have is that the ConnestionString to the database returns the error [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified. Then connectionstring i wrotes is as follows: Public Cn As New ADDOB.Connection ‘Declared at module level Public Const StrPath As String = “F:Dss App StoreDispensing SystemDrugList.accdb” then added a routine procedure Public Sub OpenCon() If Cn.State = 1 Then Cn.Close() Cn.ConnectionStrin = “Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;DataSourse=” & StrPath Cn.CursorLocation = ADDOB.cursorlocationEnum.adUseServer Cn.Open() End Sub How do I solve this error or what went wrong with the setup in the first place?
A very neat little trick to compare tables of data in Microsoft Excel to reveal differences, is to highlight the data (all rows and columns containing data), and Define a name for the data, then use an ODBC Driver for Excel to subsequently query the tables as if they were a database. Each tab in the Excel Workbook can contain a different table of (similar) data and the tables can be linked in Microsoft Query Editor so that SQL queries can be performed against the linked tables to reveal all rows of data where the same information exists in two separate columns of two separate tables, or even more useful (in my experience) the rows of data where the data that exists in one column of one table doesn’t exist in the other. In Windows 7, the Data Sources (ODBC) management console will only show drivers for SQL Server, and not the list of different drivers seen in previous versions of Windows. In order to create an Excel Data Source, you need to close the 64-bit version of the management console and run the following instead. In the 32-bit odbcad32.exe (shown below), upon clicking Add, you’ll see the long list from which you can choose Excel Driver and point it at your spreadsheet that has the defined data within it.
Note, if you intend to use this method to query the data in multiple Excel tables using the Query Analyzer, you will have to save a copy of the workbook in the older Excel 97-2000.xls format before you create an ODBC Data Source for it. Upon returning to Excel, Create a new tab in the same workbook or create a new Workbook if you like, and Open Query Analyzer as shown Choose the Data Source Name (DSN) created using the 32 bit ODBC dialog, choose what tables (Definitions) you wish to include in your query and manually join the tables containing the similar data, then edit the SQL statement as required (usually just changing = for produces the sort of results I’m looking for, i.e. Differences between the two columns, not similarities. My personal preference when it comes to comparing columns of data is to export the columns to separate text files, WinSCP the text files onto a Linux/UNIX machine, then use cat sort uniq on each file, then comm (not diff) to perform the comparison and show entries in one but not the other of the two files being compared. I’ll endeavour to cover this method in another post to compliment this Windows 7 oriented post.
Dear Matthew, Thanks immensely for this your article. Please I am trying to set up odbc to allow me query excel table as part of my class work. So when I saw this your work, I thought it will resolve the issue but I ran other complications. Like you rightly pointed out, the excel drivers I need is not listed in the data sources management console in my windows 7. So I closed it as you advised and used the C: windows sysWOW64 odbcad32.exe but when I click add in the odbc data source administrator, the create new data source dialog box that comes up does not contain a long list of drivers.
The first impression I had was that probably the excel drivers I need are simply not installed in my system. However the drivers are there in the 32 bit area of the system. How do I get these drivers to start showing up in the create new data source window as you illustrated? Thanks immensely for your help.
Best regards, Anthony.
