title: microsoft odbc driver manager data source name not found and no default driver specified
body: <p>I am trying to run a Classic ASP application on Windows 8.1. It keeps on failing with error: <strong>data source name not found and no default driver specified</strong></p>
  
  <p>I am using an Access database. I have the same problem using a MySQL database. I tried with both 32 bit and 64 bit MySQL drivers -- first installing one then uninstalling and then installing the other.</p>
  
  <pre><code>driver={MySQL ODBC 5.3 Driver};option=3;server=localhost;user=root;password=;DATABASE=test;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm using these MySQL ODBC drivers:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mysql connector 5.3.4 - win32
  mysql connector odbc 5.3.2 - winx64
  </code></pre>
