When I try to test my connection for my linked server, I get the following error message:
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "ABB".
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "ABB" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7303)
The 32 bit ODBC driver works for other applications but it does not work in SQL Server 2008 R2.
