    I am trying to run a Microsoft Access application which is a front end to SQL Server on a new Windows 7 Professional computer.  I can open the application but it's read only and I am getting a bunch of errors about saving tables, etc.  When I try to check on the ODBC connectivity, I am getting an "architecture mismatch" error.  I saw some other advice about c:\windows\sysWOW64\odbcad32.exe, but that file is not there.  I also tried another suggestion about setting Allow on in the Properties/Security tab for Data Sources under the control panel.  That didn't work either. Am I going to be able to use this older application that front ends SQL Server with MS Access 2010 and Windows 7?  Is there a way to get the ODBC drivers?  Can MS Access 2010 be downgraded?

    Hi Melissa Shambilin,

     

    Thanks for the post!

    Try the latest version of Microsoft Visual FoxPro to check if it works.
