I have installed netbeans 6.5.1. on my windows 7 64 bit computer but I could not connect to the MS access database anymore. The error [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified occurs at running the program.
SOLUTION:
Select 32bit JRE instead of 64 JRE.
1.In menu select Tools->Java Platforms
2.click Add platform button and select 32 bit java (C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_21)
3.remove default java
If you could not to remove the 64bit java open netbeans.conf file and modify line starting with netbeans_jdkhome to point to the 32bit jre (from “C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21″ to “C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_21″ )
