Are there any plans whatsoever for 64-bit ODBC drivers?

Many of us are not using SQL replicator as the hardware requirements are up there, server and client, and we have enough data that I believe we would need full SQL vs express.  Especially if your accounting dept wants the data to be live.(which ours does)

Our accounting users are the only ones I have to continue installing 32-bit office for, due to Timberline ODBC being 32-bit only.  It is so far still working ok, however Microsoft is in the mode of what little QA/QC process they perform on patching, being less of a thing for stuff they don't push out by default, and they started making 64 the default install for office 365 in January of 2019.  In a couple of years, 32-bit office will really be long in the tooth.

Also, if development is not moving in this direction to have native 64-bit Timberline ODBC, and only to be reliant on the SQL replicator function going forward for 64-bit, are their plans to ultimately replace entirely the Pervasive SQL engine with MS SQL rather than replicate?

Also, has any of the ODBC to ODBC Bridge products been tested? - I  saw one from Easysoft - don't know if there are others.  Might be a good fit that Sage can just license and auto-configure during setup, maybe even encapsulate or otherwise make entirely transparent to the user.

    Last I heard about Sage 300 CRE moving to MS SQL was 12/12/2018 when during Sage's product road map session a Sage rep noted that there was no work to move to SQL being done and that the Actian drivers worked well and were sufficient for the foreseeable future.
