Hi All,
I know that a 64bit ODBC driver is not yet available.
Can any one help with running VB6 compiled programs on a 64bit machine. I can modify my connection srtring to access the database on a 64bit machine from a 32Bit XP machine but would like to be able to use the processing power of the 64bit direcct.

Many Thanks
Malcolm Fowler

Hi Malcolm,

Since ODBC driver is 32bit the app would have to be 32bit as well and run as such (as 32bit app) on 64bit machine.

if you're using the odbc admin then make sure you use the 32bit one as per here : http://www.elevatesoft.com/supportfaq?action=view&category=edb&question=odbc_driver_64_bit

I assume you wish to use the CPU cycles or RAM on that machine - even if Elevate had a 64bit version of odbc it would not be necessarily be faster since main benefit of 64bit bit would be ability to use more ram - hence you might see improvements if you're currently memory constrained.
