Update or Delete/Reinstall ODBC Connector?

Post by richlocus »

Hello:

I have an Access application written 12 years ago. I updated it to the current version (Microsoft 365) and changed it from a 32-bit Office Access application to a 64-bit Office Access application.

In that application there is an ODBC connection to SQL Server database. To install the most current version of the ODBC connector for a 64-bit Access application, do I need to uninstall the old ODBC connector and install the new one, or will the install of the new ODBC connector take care of all the "housekeeping"?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not 100% certain, but I think you can install both side-by-side.
Best wishes,
Hans
