Yup, guilty as charged.

I have publically visible mercurial repo here:-
 http://hg.backslashat.org/repos/dabo-odbc/rev/eb192fd4cd54

with my changes it based on an earler Dabo. You should be able
to download a tgz or zip file of the repo at that point.

The main chnages to the Dabo core only involved adding a 'driver' and 'DSN'
setting to the cnxml file , Connection editor ,  ConnectionInfo class.

I'm not currently working on it as I ve not further need for this,
the project it was for had it scope changed which meant it was no 
longer required. 

Having said that it worked for waht I need it to do, and did I manage
to get an number of forms written (and working) for the properitary
driver I was using. You will almost certainly need to make some changes 
for access since ODBC is a quite a leinient specification.
