List pgsql-odbc
the underlying reason is registry redirection.

32 bit apps on win64 get registry access to HKLM\Software redirected to
HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node

So the ODBC stuff which is all stored in the registry is in a different
location for 32 and 64 bit apps.

They didn't port their ODBC admin program to cover both stores, so you
need to run the one which matches.

>Thanks for responding!  It is none of the lists: User, System, File DSN or Drivers.   In fact the System DSN is blank.
And My Data Sources is also blank in File DSN.   The only drivers that show are MS Access/dBASE, MS Access, MS ACCESS
Text,MS EXCEL, and SQL Server.
