[Qgis-user] Question on Personal Geodatabase with QGIS 2.8.2 32 bit

[Randal Hale]

I've had a question and I'm not sure how to answer it. I've dug through 
bug reports and other "googling" for an answer.

I've done this and It works - I have 0 problem:

I received an email from from a gentleman who is running Windows 
Professional 64bit, QGIS 2.8.2 32 bit, Microsoft Office 32 bit - and he 
can't open Personal Geodatbases even after setting up an ODBC 
connection. Everything works up until the he opens it in QGIS - it 
doesn't see the Geometry. I'm assuming there is some weird and wild ODBC 
driver issue (mixing 32 and 64 bit somewhere). Is there a problem with 
QGIS 2.8.2 32 bit and personal geodatabases. I'm guessing the IT 
department had him keep everything 32 bit on his workstation. I see past 
reports but nothing current.

Thoughts? Angst?
