Hi,

I am evaluating a trial version of DBISAM ODBC driver for Visual Studio (Version 4.40 Build 1).
I am connecting to a DBISAM table from .Net application using system DSN.

I found that,
1. This driver works perfectly fine for .Net frameworks up to version 4.
2. But it fails with .Net Framework 4.5. Where it raises exception while opening a OdbcConnection.
Exception: "ERROR [IM014] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application".

Is there any workaround?
Or Is there any plans to release a newer version of driver supporting latest .Net framework 4.5+?

Thanks,
Ajay Phaltankar

While i don't use this myself the error message seems to indicate a
mismatch of 32 vs 64bit issue (either app is 32 and DSN if for 64bit
driver or other way around).

Are you sure you're using the right one ?

Thanks for your response Raul.

This is not 32 vs 64bit issue. As I said earlier that, this driver works perfectly fine for .Net frameworks up to version 4 on the same environment.

Thanks,
Ajay

Bumping this thread because I'm having the same exact problem...

Ajay,

As Raul indicates, this is an issue with the bit-ness of the driver vs. the host application.  You need to make sure that you're using a 32-bit driver with 32-bit applications, and the same goes for 64-bit applications.
