Database Explorer. The drivers listed in the Create New Data Source dialog box in the
Microsoft ODBC Administrator are also 32-bit or 64-bit respectively.
Step 2. Verify the driver installation.
The ODBC driver is typically preinstalled on your computer. For details about the driver
installation or troubleshooting the installation, contact your database administrator
or refer to your database documentation on ODBC drivers. For information about the
Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator, see Driver Installation.
Step 3. Set up the data source using Database Explorer.
Set up your Microsoft Access database using Database Explorer. When setting up a data
source for use with an ODBC driver, you can locate the target database on a PC running
the Windows operating system or on another system to which the PC is networked. These
instructions use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator Version 6.1 for the U.S.
English version of Microsoft Access 2010 for Windows systems.
When using a 32-bit version of Microsoft Office, you must also use a 32-bit version of
MATLAB to complete the following steps.

Open Database Explorer by clicking the Apps tab on the MATLAB Toolstrip. Then,

no data sources are set up, a message box opens. Click OK to close it. Otherwise, the
Connect to a Data Source dialog box opens. Click Cancel to close this dialog box.
