    Hi Ahamed Shareef,

    Going back to Cari's question, were you able to successfully install MS Access.  If so, did you receive an errors etc after install?

    Also, please see the link below for some helpful information:

    thank u very very much!!! :D      sstenhjem

    hey guys after searching this "c:\windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe (for 64 bit)" 

    go to control panel -> administrative tools --> select data sources(ODBC) --> then right click on that file --> go to properties --> in the shortcut tab -> set the path "c:\windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe" in the Target area :) really it works!!!! :)

    There are two ODBC locations on a 64 bit machine. C:\windows\System32\odbcad32.exe (this is for the 32 bit) C:\windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe (for 64 bit)

    I had to find this out the hard way, reading error logs to see where the program was looking for the ODBC setttings.

    I have same situation.

    I have Windows 7 Professional 64bit that is upgraded from home premium.

    I was clean computer after purchase and remove some programs from it, for example works, Office trial version and some HP programs.

    After cleaning I was install Office XP and F-secure client security (latest version)

    After that I try install Borland Interbase 2007 odbc driver but it doesent appear to ODBC driver list, there is only MS SQL server driver in list and no any other.

    Normally windows have some odbc drivers installed by default? where all these are gone? and why installled Interbase ODBC driver doesn't appear to driver list?

    Have you actually installed MS Access yet?
