At a guess (the 32 in the error message) you have compiled your app as any cpu (or explicitly 64 bit cpu) which means it can't call a 32 bit dll.<br />
The solution is to change the properties of your app so it compiles only as 32 bit.

That is a totally different question (sounds like the ODBC connection you want to use is not configured) , you ought to close this and ask a new question for that.

ODBC Connection

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.

Microsoft Access

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,

Visual Basic.NET

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.
