Hi David ! I think you made the most logical choice as the solution is way convoluted. I have a Windows 2003 Server R2 64-bit as my Enterprise guide server and I found the solution from Microsoft, not SAS. In the structure of Windows 64 bit (not sure about 2008), there is the standard c:\windows\system32 directory which, according to MS, holds the 64-bit programs and code ! A little confusing ? Yeah, I know ! Apparently, to use 32-bit drivers in the 64-bit Windows 2003 environment, you need to install your drivers through the 32-bit version of the Datasources (ODBC) program which is located in the c:\windows\SysWOW64 directory and is the executable odbcad32.exe. Now, the executable in the normal SYSTEM32 directory has the same name, probably for coding reasons, so it's easy to get confused. Also note that pulling 32-bit documents like Word, Excel and others need to use the SAS/Access for PC Server otherwise they won't load. Maybe when we have more 64-bit apps at the user end, we won't have to worry about this incompatibility so much ?
