However, there are some cases that the ODBC system data source will fail to show any data nor point the database (refer to the following screenshot). Here is a tip shares on fixing and making the system data source to reappear and to be able to point the database correctly.


Steps To Fix
1) Click on your PC’s Control Panel > Open Administrative Tools

2) Right-click on the ODBC Data Sources (32-bits) > Properties

3) Change the Target path from %windir%\System32\odbcad32.exe to %windir%\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe and Click Apply and Save.


4) Once it is completed, the TCMS v3 or Ingress MDB will be showing in the System DSN of the ODBC accordingly. Please proceed with the repair database as explained in the link below.
