ODBC Database Sample Lesson not working

Hi,

I haven't posted for a while... hopefully somebody can assist.

I've not used ODBC to connect to a database before. I'm trying to get the Sample lesson working, but am getting the following error:

"The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application". Does anybody know what causes this?

Thanks,

Joel

Switch to using the 32-bit odbc connector. This is a well-known problem, so for whatever DB you're using, if you hit their forums, there will be discussions about it.

Hi Mikey,

Thanks. That was the issue, and your suggestion resolved it. Thanks again.
