getting deeper into difficulty....
could not get myodbc drivers to work at all. hunted here and there to
look for odbc.ini files and can't make heads or tails of what is
right and what is in the wrong place. I found a driver from
ActualTechnologies that enabled me to get data into excel through the
query application, but those drivers crash witango studio. The
openlink mysql driver, which is licensed to connect to only one
database, disappeared from witango studio. it seems no longer to see
any user DSNs and I can't use the openlink as a system DSN. So,
myodbc doesn't work, Actual doesn't work, and openlink doesn't work
with witango studio.
is there a way I can simply start over and strip out everything and
start from scratch?

I found it, I have no idea why, but in the older UDA 5.2 version of
the manager, the user DSNs were stored in ~/library/odbc/odbc.ini ,
however, with the latest manager, UDA 6.0 from openlink, user dsns
are being stored in ~/.odbc.ini which is hidden, cuz of the dot at
begin. I have no idea why they did this, but the new UDA 6 openlink
manager is the latest from iODBC, and is universal binary. The
trick to using it, is to download one of their demos, and doing a
custom install, and NOT installing the driver, just the manager. As
far as I know, the framework and iodbc libs are not hindered at
all, just the driver, then you can use the myodbc driver.
So, other than the new location for the user dsns, the instructions
from witango support should be fine, the system dsns are still
stored in /library/odbc/odbc.ini

I have their manager. All my DSNs failed after upgrading to OS
10.4.6 and I couldn't find a way to make them live again. That's
what I'm trying to do. I installed the MyODBC driver - latest
version, but can't get the driver configured in either ODBC
manager. Have no idea what to put in the setup config.

You don't need to buy openlink, you can use the SDK, and use
their manager, and use the myodbc 3.5.1 directly from mysql.
Also, openlink limits you to one connection, with their driver,
but not with other installed drivers. So just use their manager,
but not the driver.

When I updated my OS to 10.4.6 on my workstation, my ODBC died
dead. I couldn't figure out how to revive it, so purchased an
openlink driver for $100, which installed and worked. The
openlink only allows one connection to one database. For more,
the price goes through the roof. So, I'm back trying to figure
out how to reinstall the myODBC driver so that it works.
The official installer works fine, and the instructions show how
to create DSNs, but NOT how to configure the driver. I haven't a
clue how to do this. What to put in the "driver" and "setup"
fields in the ODBC
configuration._____________________________________________________
