My OS is 64 bit and office is 32 bit.... I resovled the same problem in oracle by placing the jar files C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\jdbc\lib\ojdbc14.jar and C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\jdbc\lib\ojdbc14.jar in class path. But How can i solve this problem with access....

Was it helpful?

Solution

A 32-bit ODBC Administrator utility (%WINDIR%\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe) supplied by Microsoft for its 64-bit OS does not solve the archirecture incompatibility since DSNs defined through it are usable only by apps also running in 32-bit mode.

Fortunately, Microsoft realized the issue and provided a component called “Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable”. You can download it from Microsoft site. After executing AccessDatabaseEngine_X64.exe you will be able to see the MS-Access driver under the normal 64-bit ODBC Administrator.
