# Check the ODBC SQL Server Driver Version (Windows)
[!INCLUDE[SQL Server Azure SQL Database Synapse Analytics PDW ](../../includes/applies-to-version/sql-asdb-asdbmi-asa-pdw.md)]

  Your computer may contain a variety of ODBC drivers, from [!INCLUDE[msCoName](../../includes/msconame-md.md)] and from other companies. This topic describes how to use the Windows **ODBC Data Source Administrator** to check the version of the installed ODBC drivers.  
  
##  <a name="SSMSProcedure"></a>  
  
#### To check the ODBC SQL Server driver version (32-bit ODBC)  
  
-   In the **ODBC Data Source Administrator**, click the **Drivers** tab.  
  
     Information for the Microsoft [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] entry is displayed in the **Version** column.  


> [!NOTE]  
>  For connections to Azure Active Directory Authentication for SQL Database install the latest driver, such as [ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server](../../connect/odbc/download-odbc-driver-for-sql-server.md).
