I followed the advice here:
but it does not apply.
I have Oracle drivers that are 64bit. If I click the ODBC mmc in my admin tools I can see the DSN. In my properties of the ODBC administrator, it appears to be pointing to the 64bit version of the ODBC administrator, which is good:
If I use this version of the ODBC administrator, I can see the Oracle drivers and my DSN via the mmc. When I go to Microsoft Access 2007 (32bit), however, and click external data, ODBC, my 32bit ODBC administrator is opening, which does not have the driver.
Can Access 2007 32bit use a 64bit driver to connect to a database (oracle in this case)? The driver works fine in all other applications, just not Access. How can I get Access to use the 64bit ODBC administrator?
EDIT:

For clarification, the problem is that Access is opening the 32bit version, the syswow64 version. I need it to open the native 64bit version, which it is not opening. The problem is that Microsoft Access keeps opening the 32bit version. I need it to open the 64bit version. The MMC of the ODBC administrator is pointing to the 64bit version, but Microsoft Access keeps opening the 32bit version. I need it to open the 64bit version. Thanks for help.

Win7 has TWO odbcad32.exe executables. The one in system32, is, of all moronic things, actually the 64bit interface.

For real 32bit ODBC setups, you need to use the c:windowssyswow64odbcad32.exe
You can throw a tomato at Bill Gates next time you see him, and thank him on behalf of the entire planetary population for such a moronic design decision. He may not be in charge of M$ anymore, but it's still his fault... everything Windows is his fault.

I want to do a hand install of the MS Access 64 bit odbc drivers. Uninstalling 32 bit Office and installing 64 bit Office is not an option due to the add-ins that our company uses.
I downloaded the AccessDatabaseEngine_x64.exe and using WinRar and Universal Extractor have managed to unpack all the files into a temp directory. I believe I have all of the files necessary but am a bit unsure where to go from here and would appreciate a little guidance.
Which DLLs need to be registered to make the MS Access ODBC drivers available in the 64 bit ODBC administrator?
Is there a list of registry entries that I will need to make for it to be available?
Has anyone else dealt with this in a reasonable manner?
Thank you in advance!

using the /passive switch you can install 64-bit ace drivers even if 32-bit ms office is present:http://blog.codefluententities.com/2011/01/20/microsoft-access-database-engine-2010-redistributable/
Just be warned that installing the 2010 64-bit ACE engine on a machine with 2010 32-bit Office already installed CAN lead to some wacky behavior in your already existing Office 2010.

I ran into this same issue with a SpringJDBC app that connected to an access DB when I ported it over to a win7x64 box running eclipse-4.3x64 Kepler.
What ended up working for me was to COMPLETELY remove 32bit Office2010 [ and Lync and other MS apps tied to this ] and install the 64bit versions.
Here's the really fun part: The driver name to which you use for Access64bit driver name is now:
|Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)|
Yes, that's a comma-space after 'mdb'.
So, my spring-config for the Datasource looks like:

Hope this Helps!

I have managed to install both without side effects on Office installation and without using /passive option. Downside is that is tested and working only on one Office version for now. Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 driver for x64 app - how to make it work with x86 MS Office installed?
