64 bit ODBC driver for MS Access

[Ray McKaig]

I have several websites that use MS Access as the backend. I've now replaced
my development machine and installed Vista 64-bit.

I am able to continue to develop the sites (Dreamweaver), but I'm unable to
test them locally due to the lack of an 64-bit ODBC driver.

I've read various discussions regarding recompiling for x86 32-bit
environment, but that doesn't work for me as this is IIS based, not a VB.NET
or C++ application.

Can anyone help me with a pointer or two in how to get around this problem.

The ideal situation of course is for Microsoft to produce a 64-bit ODBC
driver, and I'm sure this is in the pipeline, but the pipeline doesn't help
me now.

Hi Ray,

You may want to post this in the MS Office Access discussion group using the link below and mention there the version of Access
you're using as well.

Thanks Bob.

I didn't see a managed Access newsgroup here so chose the nearest option.
