Win7 64bit ODBC problem

In windows7 64bit machine sometimes it will not take the odbc connection even you given all credentials properly.

Its because windows 7 has two odbc's, one is for 32 bit and the other is for 64. In 64bit machine it will load the odbc for 64bit normally.

For getting 32 bit odbc you need to go the following path.

c:\windows\syswow64\odbcad32.exe

You need to right click on the exe and then choose "Run as administrator".

Done
