There are *two* ODBC Administrator applications, one for setting up 32-bit
drivers for 32-bit applications, another for 64-bit drivers and 64-bit
applications.
The default link in Administrative Tools (et al) is to the 64-bit
Administrator.
To manage 32-bit ODBC, you must run ODBCAd32.exe from the SysWOW64 folder.
Note that there's a distinct paucity of 64-bit ODBC drivers.
