64 bit windows and odbc connection

385 Views

I am new to the forum, so please bear with me. We have developers that have to run in Win 7 64 bit. I have installed Crystal Reports 12 on three systems. I used the c:\windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe to set up the ODBC. BTW, this is an Intersystems Cache 32 bit driver. The connectivity tests ok from the Data Source Administrator. When I open Crystal Reports and go to Logon Log off server, it does not see the connection at all. If I try to run a report, it does not see the connection.

The kicker is, I got it run on one system, but not the other two. They are setup identically. I suspect that I tried so many different things to get it to work, that I lost my way. 😊 I do remember doing something with the registry on the one that finally worked

I have tried 64 bit drivers from Intersystems and 32 bit. It was the 32 bit driver that finally worked on one system. It could be something in the registry, but I sure canu2019t find it!

I have been through dozens of posts and all over the Internet looking for a solution. Everybody says to use c:\windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe. Apparently, that's only part of the story. 😊

We use Crystal Reports a lot and I need to get this resolved. I appreciate any help you guys can give! Thanks, Beckyc
