We are currently running Navision 3.70.B using a native database.
Some of our users use an application (for AutoCAD) that connects using C/ODBC. On their Windows XP machines that works fine.
However now they want to use Windows 7 64 Bit and the C/ODBC driver does not work.
During installation Windows 7 will report that the application has compatibily problems, but it can still be installed. In the ODBC Data Source Administrator I can see the C/ODBC driver but if I try to use it it will crash.
Is there any way to get C/ODBC to work on Windows 7?
Upgrading our Navision to a newer version is unfortunately not an option at the moment. We might we able to go from native to SQL, which would probably solve our problem. However, I do not know if we could even do that (We have 2000+ customizations to our Navision)
By the way, I do not need the Navision client on the Windows 7 computers only C/ODBC.
Thanks in advance.

The computers have 12 GB RAM, so yes I need Windows 7 64 bit. (And XP 64 bit is not an option)
The application that needs access using C/ODBC is actually 32 bit. It will pull some data from Navision and then use that to open a 64 bit AutoCAD Inventor 2011.
I installed the 32 bit version of ODBC (same as we use on XP) and I can see the C/ODBC in the 32 bit ODBC Data Source Administrator (c:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe) However as soon at I try to use it or click the "Company Name" button it will crash. Window 7 32 bit has the exact same problem.
From what I can tell the problem is that the C/ODBC is not compatible with Vista and Windows 7 (regardless of 32 or 64 bit)
I quess I would have to go from native to SQL to get it to work :-(

I use to have Win7 32bit on my laptop, where C/ODBC was installed, and did work perfectly \:D/
I have just upgrade to Win7 64bit, where I can not get it installed at all ?
But perhaps I'am using the wrong C/ODBC ?
Found the solution in another posts \:D/

Seems to work for me =D> \:D/
PS: We are using Microsoft Dynamics NAV Classic, with a Version DK 3.10A (6.00) database
I have installed from the folder "NODBC" on the installations CD
