snip:
MSDASQL: The Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC (MSDASQL) provides
ADO clients access to databases through ODBC Drivers. This has been
the default provider for ADO; however, for future releases of MDAC
and the 64-bit Windows operating system, MSDASQL has been
deprecated. Therefore, to access the database from ADO, clients must
use appropriate Native OLE DB Providers, such as SQLOLEDB, to access
Microsoft SQL Server. MSDASQL will be not available on the 64-bit
Windows operating system; however, it will still be possible to use
on the 64-bit Windows operating system through the 32-bit Windows
subsystem.

There will be no support for ODBC and definitely no support for 64-
bit ODBC.
