Creating and configuring 32-bit data sources

In place of the 64-bit version, use the 32-bit ODBC administrator, named odbcad32.exe, which is located in the %systemroot%\SysWOW64 folder.

StepsTo use the 32-bit ODBC Data Source Administrator

  1. Click Start on your desktop.

  2. Click Run.

  3. In the Open box, enter:

    %systemroot%\SysWOW64\odbcad32
    
  4. Click OK.

NoteThe 64-bit version of Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator must be closed before you can open the 32-bit version. For example, an attempt to execute the 32-bit version while the 64-bit version is running causes the 64-bit version to continue processing and prevents the 32-bit version from opening for administration.
