Need Microsoft ODBC Driver for Text files "Ahmed Saeed" <ahmedbam[ at ]eim.ae> 5/23/2007 9:19:59 AM Hi I installed Windows 64 Bit Server and SP2, but could not find the Microsoft ODBC driver for text files installed. Could any one please tell me how to install this driver. Thank you.

Re: Need Microsoft ODBC Driver for Text files "Charlie Russel - MVP" <charlie[ at ]mvKILLALLSPAMMERSps.org> 5/23/2007 9:21:48 PM The following from an earlier post by Pascal might help: From a post by Pascal Deliot: It's important to understand which kind of DSN you have. On an x64 system, you can create an ODBC connection(DSN) on the 32-bit side of the system or on the 64-bit side of the system. 32-bit applications will only see ODBC connections created in the 32-bit side, and 64-bits applications will only see ODBC connections from the 64-bit side. Each kind of application has is own registry. To setup DSN for 32-bit application you must use: %WINDIR%\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe and for 64-bit application you must use: %WINDIR%\System32\odbcad32.exe HTH -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/xperts64 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/charlie.russel "Ahmed Saeed" <ahmedbam[ at ]eim.ae> wrote in message news:f310tu$aqu101[ at ]news-dxb.emirates.net.ae...

Re: Need Microsoft ODBC Driver for Text files "Ahmed Saeed" <ahmedbam[ at ]eim.ae> 5/24/2007 3:45:00 AM Thanks Charlie I found both the 32-bit and 64-bit ODBCs. However, only the 32-bit contains drivers for Text files and I have an ASP page that require to connect to a text file but it seems that the page connects to the 64-bit where not text drivers available. my question, is how I can connect to the text file using the available ODBC driver.

Re: Need Microsoft ODBC Driver for Text files "Charlie Russel - MVP" <charlie[ at ]mvKILLALLSPAMMERSps.org> 5/24/2007 3:18:34 PM Sorry, you're outside my area of expertise. This is, ultimately, an ASP question of how to force it to call a 32-bit ODBC when it's 64-bit, or, alternately, how to write a 64-bit ODBC drivers for Text files. The overall focus of this newsgroup is around end-user and general IT questions. You might have better luck over on one of the more ASP oriented newsgroups. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/xperts64 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/charlie.russel "Ahmed Saeed" <ahmedbam[ at ]eim.ae> wrote in message news:f331m1$ar19[ at ]news-dxb.emirates.net.ae...
