Database considerations (ODBC)
Note: On 64-bit operating systems, the ODBC Data Sources created by the Data Source (ODBC)
icon in the Administrative Tools will not appear here, as PlanetPress Suite is 32-bit and cannot
access the 64-bit data sources. In order to create an ODBC connection visible by PlanetPress,
you will need to access the 32-bit version of the ODBC manager, available in C:\Win-
dows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe .
The following considerations should be kept in mind while working with ODBC Databases in Plan-
etPress Suite.
