Very useful for LOTUS Note Connection

To use Notes data through ODBC, you must have:
  • Notes SQL, the Lotus Notes ODBC driver
  • An ODBC Driver Manager version 3.5 or later
  • One of the following:
    • Microsoft Windows 2000, or XP
    • Microsoft Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition or Enterprise Edition
    • Microsoft Windows Vista
    • Microsoft Windows 2008
    • Microsoft Windows 7
  • One of the following:
    • Lotus Notes Client release 6.0 or later
    • Lotus Domino release 6.0 or later
    • Lotus Notes Designer release 6.0 or later
    • Lotus Domino Off-Line Services release 1.01 or later

OK, and then few steps: (this works in windows 7 x64)

1) Install NotesSQL - driver  to C:\NotesSQL
2) add your Lotus Notes directory to the %PATH% Variable
3) Reboot
4) run c:\windows\syswow64\odbccad.exe
5) You should now find the NotesSql ODBC driver to create the ODBC connection normally
