32 bit ODBC drivers on 64 bit Windows

| Tuesday, May 11, 2010
It’s been a while since I had to use an ODBC driver.  Today I learned…

That when you install a 32 bit ODBC driver on a 64 bit Windows but it doesn’t show up in the Data Sources admin tool because this tool displays only 64 bit drivers.

That you can manage a 32 bit ODBC driver on a 64 bit Windows using the 32 bit Data Sources admin tool located here:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe

That 64 bit software can’t use 32 bit ODBC drivers.
That 32 bit software installed on a 64 bit Windows can use 32 bit ODBC drivers.
