64 bit ODBC Exception

Question

I am getting the following ODBC exception when I moved my development platform from Windows XP X86 to Windows 7 X64:

ERROR [IM014] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Ma         


        

Answer 1

It sounds more that you've setup a 32-bit DSN using the 64-bit ODBC Administrator :

Try using this ODBC Administrator instead :

c:\windows\sysWOW64\odbcad32.exe

Answer 2

If you type ODBC from Start -> Search Programs box, it only lists 32bit ODBC administrator, not 64bit console. Microsoft hide 64bit administrator from search.
