I am not sure how I missed. This link allows you to download the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13255 The details of this indicates both ODBC and OLEDB as copied from the Microsoft Web Site: "This download will install a set of components that facilitate the transfer of data between existing Microsoft Office files such as Microsoft Office Access 2010 (*.mdb and .accdb) files and Microsoft Office Excel 2010 (.xls, *.xlsx, and *.xlsb) files to other data sources such as Microsoft SQL Server. Connectivity to existing text files is also supported. ODBC and OLEDB drivers are installed for application developers to use in developing their applications with connectivity to Office file formats. "

    I am using Windows 7 (x64bit) Ultimate.

    I have both ODBC32 and ODBC64 Managers that I can access via Start. The default appears to be the ODBC64.

    However I do not see MSDASQL -Microsoft OLEDB for ODBC listed.

    I wonder if it exists. I see some references to 64Bit MSDASQL for Windows Server 2003. The IBM 64bit for ODBC seems to work (I heard) but not tried. Now I would like to know if any one knows the link for 64-bit MSDASQL for Windows 7. Microsoft seems to have deprecated MSDASQL and I am not sure of the status of this story.

    These issues came up while setting up a linked server in SQL Server 2012 for SQL (SAP) SqlAnywhere server.

    This worked perfectly for me. Oh the fun of having to connect to a dbase program in 2015 and wanting to do it from within a 64bit program. Thank you

    When downloading at the MS site, end users have the option of a 32 or 64bit. Which one should they choose? (I have a 64bit Win7)
