Connecting to ODBC for Visual Foxpro 32 Bit

I have a program that we run locally on an internal server that stores our transactional data on a Visual Foxpro 32-bit database. I saw that Power BI Desktop can connect to an ODBC. So, I went into SysWOW64>odbcad32.exe to set up the link and now I get the following Error:

ODBC: ERROR [IM014] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application

 

Is there something that I am doing wrong?

@etuffyas Sounds similiar to this thread

It looks like you may need to install an additional driver to get things to sync up. Look up something like "visual foxpro 64 bit odbc driver" and there are a couple sources describing what I believe you need to do.
