I'm still curious ... why do you need two clients in the first place?
It is well established that 32-bit clients will talk to 64-bit db's,
and vice versa. And unless you get very far afield, even the relative
versions of the client and db are not a factor .. I've had 8.1 clients
talking to 10.2 databases.
