Hello,

I have tried all ways to enable OBDC on my computer through ADMIN TOOLS => DATA SOURCES (ODBC).

However there is nothing there to enable the Microsoft Access ODBC driver but it is listed on the USER DSN page, but when i try to configure it, it says

"The setup routines for the Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb) ODBC driver could not be found. Please reinstall the driver"

I know thet JET is not installed on the 64-bit version, however is there another solution, I must use Microsoft Access i cant use SQL as it is for a university assignment, as i need to create database connectivity through PHP.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you

Use the 32bits version via

C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe

And for DotNet applications you can configure them to be compiled for x86
