ODBC Administrator vs iODBC
Authored by: dmarkman12345 on Dec 16, '02 03:06:53PM

as I can tell Apple's ODBC Administartor does only one thing:
it create/edit odbc.ini or odbcinst.ini from /Library/ODBC folder
for system Data sources or from ~/Library/ODBC for user data sources
so, practically you don't need that administrator at all: just edit
those files by yourself.
you can find information about format of odbc init files somewhere
on the web or from driver's specific documentation

MS Query, however, don't use preferences file from /Library/ODBC folder
it uses files from /Library/Preferences or ~/Library/Preferences
I think MS Query can not communicate with Apple's ODBC directly, because
MS Query is CFM based application and you need special software, like
cfm iodbc bridge. but it's just my speculations
