Moving ODBC from one computer to another

Moving ODBC is not as challenging as you may think.  If you have a lot of ODBC setup in your system, the easiest way to move them is to simply save the registry entries and restore them on the new computer.

On 64 bit Windows:
64 bit ODBC’s are in – HKLM\SOFTWARE\ODBC
32 Bit ODBC’s are in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ODBC

On 32 bit Windows – HKLM\SOFTWARE\ODBC

===============================================================

4) Import it into the registry on a different machine and reboot..
