A few notes on my experience in getting Excel 2013 to use ODBC to DB2 via MS Query on Win7 64bit First, had to use the 32 bit driver (think MS Query may still be 32 bit).

From there used 32 bit ODBC to confirm driver was available and to set up a.User. DSN as described above (Excel does not seem to see system DSN’s). Final key to the puzzle is to run Excel in compatibility mode for Win XP SP3 (right click on Excel and set).

Which are db2cli.dll and db2odbc.dll (similar to the 64 bit ones but without the “o”).

In order to register the 32bit drivers we will have to use “db2oreg123” instead I hope that this info may be helpful for someone else. Additional info can be found here.

Well, DB2 is IBM's product, I must say even with all the changes with 2008 R2 and 32 vs. 64 bit I am really enjoying the lack of 64 bit support for older access db's and such.
