In the OpenEdge release, the 32-bit and the 64-bit DataDirect 7.0 drivers are installed with MS SQL DataServer. The driver branding process customizes both the 32-bit and the 64-bit DataDirect drivers to be used only with the OpenEdge DataServer products for MS SQL Server and ODBC.
Note: Any attempts to use the drivers with other ODBC applications result in errors.
