64 bit ODBC driver for Microsoft Access

Hello,
I am trying to connect to one of my Access databases (.mdb file on my local) from ODBC connection. The problem is, I am using 64-bit Xp Pro and it does not see any Access driver on 64-bit architecture.
Does anybody have 64-bit compatible ODBC driver for Microsoft Access Any other help also will be appreciated....

    Can any of you tell an "average Joe" how to compile the application against the x86 processor I'm not a developer just a sys admin trying to connect to an Access db - thanks!

    Run it through SQL Server Express (which is 32-bit)

    Not straight-forward but a lasting solution, hope this helps, Gorm

    Ken is correct - I ran into the same problem. And, compiling against x86 fixed the problem. This is the *only* way to run Jet 4.0 on x64.

    There is not one available. You need to compile your application for the x86 processor to force it to use the 32 bit driver.

    Hi

    To continue the theme. Heeeelpppp.

    Am i right in thinking that there is absolutelly no way to read and write data into an Access Database from VS2005 on a 64 bit machine, with my app running in 64 bit mode

    I cannot compile to x86

    I cannot use SQLXpress

    Any ideas at all would be greatly appreciated
