sqldeveloper 4.1.1 new connection no access tab - ms-access

sqldeveloper 4.1.1 new connection "Access" tab missing. I have windows 8.1 64bit. I tried 32bit 64bit office. I tried Windows 64-bit with JDK 8 included, Windows 32-bit/64-bit.

Oracle sqldeveloper starting version 4.1 require java 8 which remove jdbc-odbc bridge necessary for the program to connect Microsoft access database. sqldeveloper 4.0 with java 7 works.

From access to link to a server database you use the external data tab, and from that tab choose ODBC database.
So there never was some “new” connection button or tab, but only that of using the ODBC connection manager.

ODBC Driver 13 and ODBC Driver 11

Can I install both ODBC Driver 13 and ODBC Driver 11 on the same server?
I need to access Microsoft SQL 2008 database and Microsoft SQL 2016 database. First one requires ODBC Driver 11. Second one requires ODBC Driver 13.
Would they be independently use by the system?
Update:
I have installed both drivers 11 and 13. I still can't work with my 2008 database.
Not sure if I need to restart? Did not restart as installation did not ask for it.
It appears you can simultaneously install ODBC 11 and 13|13.1 since the filenames are different and even Microsoft suggests you can change the connection string. (I do not have yet a server with SQL 2016 on testing environment. Therefore, I can not test it).
How to differentiate which application will use which?
To quote from the Microsoft's pages:
When an application uses the driver, the application should indicate
that it depends on the driver through the install option APPGUID.
Doing so enables the driver installer to report dependent applications
before uninstalling. To specify a dependency on the driver, set the
APPGUID command-line parameter to your product code when silently
installing the driver. (A product code must be created when using
Microsoft Installer to bundle your application setup program.) For
example:
msiexec /i msodbcsql.msi APPGUID={ <Your dependent application's APPGUID> }

SQLNCLI10 Provider with windows 8

I'm facing a trouble with Windows 8.
I've an application in VB6 using SQL Server 2008 through the net with SQLNCLI10 provider, which I always install with sqlncli10.msi, but when I tried to install in a PC with Windows 8, I can't... said something it's no more supported.
I use ADO for connection, and the string connection is:
Provider=SQLNCLI10;Server=SERVER\SQLEXPRESS;Database=MyDataBase;
Any ideas?
Are you installing on a 64-bit machine? If you are, you may need to create a reference directly to the C:\Windows\SysWow64\sqlncli.dll.

My c# application cannot connect to database on window7 64bit with microsoft access database engine 2010 32bit

I'm working with
1) Window7 32bit
2) VS 2005
3) language: C#
I made an application that connects to an Access file and deployed the applicatioin with Clickonce on my computer.
I published in release/any cpu mode.
The prerequisites was .Net Framework 2.0.
When I installed the appliction on another computer (Window7 64bit, MS Access Database Engine 2010 32bit), an error occurred.
The error message was Cannot Connect to Database.... System.Data.
My connection string is Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=....
64-bit and 32-bit components don't play well together.
I had a similar issue with 64-bit Windows and a 32-bit ODBC driver. You most likely need the 64-bit version of the Access database driver.

Connecting MySQL with Crystal Reports v10

I am new to Crystal Reports v10 and I'm creating reports to embed in Visual Studio 2010 forms. The database server I'm using is MySQL. I have some issues regarding to creating new connection in crystal reports. Based on what I've read, I should select the ODBC in order for me to connect it to the MySQL. However, when I select ODBC and LocalServer and enter the username and password an error message occurred and shows Logon Failed. Am I doing it right? Is there anything you could help me please?
I already installed the MySQL Connector/ODBC 5.1
You need to install the MySQL ODBC Connector.. Create an ODBC data source from the Administrative Tools \ ODBC Data sources control panel. It will then be available in Crystal Reports.
You must download the appropriate version of mysql odbc connector since there are two of them:
mysql odbc connector Windows (x86, 32-bit), MSI Installer)
mysql odbc connector Windows (x86, 64-bit), MSI Installer)
if 64-bit doesn't run, try to uninstall it and try the 32 bit msi Installer

Microsoft Access odbc problem on new windows server 2008

I've got a client that I wrote an asp front end application 2 yrs ago, which connects to a access 2007 database. All the files sat on a windows server 2000 machine 2 yrs ago. They recently upgraded their server to a windows server 2008 machine (64bit). Now the asp can't connect to the Access database via the ODBC connection. I tried using a dsnless connection, as well as, a manually created dsn connection (the manual dsn was created on the server 2008 machine using the 32bit .exe wizard to create dsn connections)...but that didn't work. I get an error that basically says the database odbc couldn't connect.
I've read that this is a problem between a 64bit 2008 server and a 32bit application (access 2007), but I can't seem to find any solutions to fix this problem.
Can anyone point me in the right direction, or offer some help? I'm really clueless how to solve this for them and they really don't have any other people to help.
Thanks for your help.
On a Windows 2008 x64 the following can be done to enable 32 bit applications in IIS:
Open IIS (inetmgr command)
Locate the application pool that your application is using
In the pool's advanced settings, set Enable 32-bit Applications to true
If that doesn't work, try enabling 32 bit compatibility mode by using the following command:
cscript c:\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil.vbs SET /w3svc/AppPools/Enable32BitAppOnWin64 True
Hope it helps!
