FM Pro 11 doesn't see 32-bit DSN on 64-bit Windows 2003

[judit]

Hello,

I would need to connect FM Pro 11 via ODBC to an Oracle Database (10g), I need to read data from Oracle.

The FM Pro 11 is on a Windows Server 2003 64-bit machine, where we already have the DSN defined, based on a 32-bit driver.

However, this system DSN can be viewed only when going directly to windowsSysWOW64 directory and running 'odbcad32.exe'.

Launching Administrative Tools form Control Panel you can not see it, being the DSN based on a 32-bit driver.

Unfortunately in FM Pro 11 we can't see either the DSN.

Does anybody know how the let see to Filemaker the DSN under the directory windowsSysWOW64?

Somewhere on the net I found, that copying the odbcad32.exe from windowsSysWOW64 under another directory it might work.

Does anybody tried this way?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Judit
