I have a Windows 2008 64BIT server running SQL 2008 R2.

I have defined system ODBC's which point to a DB2 DB.

Why am I unable to create an ODBC connection via the Connection Manager? When I go to select my ODBC, the list is empty.
It appears SSIS is pointing to the list of 32bit ODBC's which in my case, there are none. How can I get SSIS to look to the 64bit ODBC manager/list of ODBC?

Thanks
Q

what have you set as value for 64bitruntime property in debug properties?

It looks to be pointing to the 32 bit ODBC's no matter if the 64bitruntime property is set to true or false.

I have three 64 bit ODBC's defined in the 64 bit ODBC manager.

For a test, I created 3 32 bit ODBC's which show up no matter which setting the 64bitruntime property is set for.

Weird....

It appears that Visual Studio 2008 is only 32 bit, and as such does not support 64 bit ODBC's. I am forced to use the 32 bit ODBC manager.
