Hi,
I've got Win Server 2003 Standard 64bit edition trying to work with SQL 2005
standard 64bit edition however there is a problem.

I need to locate the ODBC driver in Win Ser.

I know where they are in the 32bit edition but not in the 64bit version.
can anyone help?
Thanks

Is there a 64 bit ODBC Driver? I didnt think that there was. You might have
to compile your application in x86 or if you are using SSIS or DTS exec you
can use this post...

Can you use the OLE DB Driver?

C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
uses...
odbc32.dll

and
C:\WINDOWS\System32\odbcad32.exe
uses
odbc32.dll


I am sure others will have some thoughts as well.

As far as I know the ODBC driver is not working on 64 bits Windows. You
could use OLEDB instead, which is working fine.
