Windows 7 64 bit and ODBC connections

Avatar

Curious, has anyone recently ported over to Windows 7 64 bit version from Vista and having ODBC issues?

I have a very simple form that works fine on Vista 64, but when I connect with Windows 7 64 bit,  it stops working.

Looks like the 32 bit ODBC drivers work a little better, but not much.

So questions:

Does lifecycle work with windows 7 64 bit version?

Do the 64 bit ODBC drivers work?

Do the 32 bit drivers work?

If issues, any threads out there?

I have that configuration and I am only able to use 32bit drivers.

Hi Paul

I am trying to get the 32 bit drives to work connected to a SQL remote database and I get the following error

GeneralError:Operation failed.......Index is out of bounds

I am using a simple script to clone the datasource so a drop down can bring up the other row values

The lines that it is failing on is

while

(xfa.sourceSet.nodes.item(nIndex).name != "DataConnection2")

{ nIndex

++; }

worked fine in Vista, but not windows 7 (using 32 bit drivers)

Any suggestions?

I don't have a SqlServer to test with ...i do have a mySql database and it works fine. I wonder if there is so me additional security that Win7 uses with SqlServer that we are unaware of.

Anyone that you can ask at Adobe that may know about any such issues?

Oh, interesting that the 64 bit ODBC works fine with Microsoft Access to link into the SQL database.

I can see and update the tables fine.

So, my first thought would be that LiveCycles has a problem on Windows 7 64 bit or some settings that I am not aware of that need to be set.

64 bit drivers do NOT work, while the 32 bit drivers do.

Took awhile, but finally got them doing what they need to do.
