Microsoft Access ODBC Driver 64-bit Solved/Closed

Question

Hello everyone,

I have a PC running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, and I programmed a JAVA application that needs to access a Microsoft Access database.
My problem is that when I try to add my database using the Windows ODBC Data Source Administrator tool, I encounter an error message. It’s rather "normal" since the only ODBC drivers installed on my machine are for SQL Server.
Therefore, I have been looking for a 64-bit Access ODBC driver for quite some time but I can't find one.
Where can I find it? Does it simply not exist? If that's the case, how can I proceed?

Thank you in advance for your responses.

PS: I wasn't sure which category to post this message in.

Configuration: Windows 7 Firefox 3.5.5

Apparently, you need to use the ODBC Data Source Administrator utility for 32-bit; to run it: c:\windows\syswow64\odbcad32.exe

Hello,  Sorry, I don't have the answer; I have the same problem too...

Mick Sgrill · Answer

I don't understand why a solution isn't found right away. It's definitely something quite essential.

'Hello,  It's always the same thing, you find exactly what you're not looking for; this is somewhat true for the web in general.

Sure, that works, it's made for it! 8-)

Hello everyone,
I have the same setup as you. Windows 7, IIS, and an ASP site with an Access database. I found the ODBC management under system32 where I can see the drivers, but... I'm still at the same point. Did you add any driver or perform any special action?
The error I get when I run IIS is the same as yours. The string

set Conn = Server.Createobject("ADODB.Connection")
ConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source="& Server.Mappath("db.mdb")

gives me an error (provider absent...)

Thank you in advance for your responses.

Hi, sorry for this message, I know it's not the right place to ask the question, but if you're still online, you can reply if you know the answer. I've created a database that generates invoices in Access 2007, and I want the invoice number to be in the format year+month+sequence (resetting at the beginning of each month).
Please, if you can help me, it's urgent ^^

To compile in 32 bits: Project properties -> "Compiler" tab -> click on the "Advanced compilation options" button -> Change "Target platform" to "x86" -> Re-compile  It should normally work (VS 2008)

Hi,

Microsoft offers a beta solution for the 64-bit Access ODBC driver:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=C06B8369-60DD-4B64-A44B-84B371EDE16D&displaylang=en

...and it works! (ODBC connection call from a Perl script using the 64-bit version of Perl).

Hi, I have the same problem actually I tried to check the configuration but apparently I'm compiling correctly with the x86 version.
My issue is explained in more detail here: https://forums.commentcamarche.net/forum/affich-19482405-odbc-pilote-access-2010
EDIT: I found the answer:
The 32-bit version of the Odbcad32.exe file is located in the %systemdrive%\Windows\SysWoW64 folder.

Source: https://support.microsoft.com/fr-fr/help/942976/odbc-administrator-tool-displays-both-the-32-bit-and-the-64-bit-user-d

I was thinking that the best thing would be to pretend to be deaf-mute.

Hi   I had the same problem, and I found a solution to fix it: Start --> Run --> cmd and type the following command: c:\windows\syswow64\odbcad32.exe  That's all

You need to take odbc 32.exe and configure the system data source instead of the user data source. If you go to odbc 64 DSN system, you won't find what you did with 32 compared to using 32 user DSN. ODBC 32 is located in syswow32.

If it still doesn't work for you, try running the application as an administrator; it only works for me this way!

You must first install the 32-bit JDK, then the answer is in this video http://youtu.be/tKa7Uvk4w0Y

It's pretty pathetic that Microsoft is unable to provide the 64-bit ODBC driver for Access in Windows...
We're forced to do everything in 32-bit while we have a 64-bit OS, a 64-bit application, and a 64-bit database... but the driver doesn't exist!

This topic is a bit old, but for your information,
on a 64-bit PC, Office installs in the 32-bit folder (if Office is 32-bit) and thus, the folder name is Program Files (x86). However, Oracle cannot return data to a folder whose name contains parentheses.
The only solution is either to rename the folder or to reinstall Office in a folder without parentheses.
