MS Office - OS X Lion (10.7)

Has anyone managed to get the psqlodbc drivers to work with M$ Office (for Mac 11) on OS X?

If I compile it and test with unixODBC the command line tools like isql work just fine, Office on the other hand refuses to see the driver with ODBC Manager or it fails to "something" (blank dialog, no output logs) with iODBC's manager.

ActualTech's commercial offering works, although the trial appears to be restricted to 3 three rows returned.

I'd much rather figure out how to get the open source drivers working and put together a clear 'how-to' than have to pay for a commercial licence. $35 Might not be much but it goes against the grain ;)

Brett -
Dredging through a backlog of emails, I found your call for help from last
spring.  Did you ever get this to work? It's not my environment, but I too
find the situation not optimal.
