title: 32 bit pyodbc reading 64 bit access (accdb)
body: <p>I have python 2.7 32 bit running on a Windows 8.1 64 bit machine.  </p>
  
  <p>I have Access 2013 and a .accdb file that I'm trying to access from python and pyodbc.</p>
  
  <p>I can create a 64 bit DSN in the 64 bit ODBC manager.  However, when I try to connect to it from python, I get the error: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Error: (u'IM002', u'[IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified')</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Presumably, python is only looking for 32-bit DSNs and doesn't find the 64-bit one that I've created.</p>
  
  <p>When I try to create a 32-bit DSN within the 32-bit ODBC manager, there is no driver for a accdb file (just .mdb).</p>
  
  <p>I think I need a 32 bit ODBC driver for Access 2013 files (.accdb), but haven't been able to find one.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to do what I'm trying to do? -- 32bit python access a Access 2013 .accdb file?</p>
