Great to hear that your ODBC is working fine. I am ok with my little work around and the JDBC driver worked flawlessly for me, although others have had problems with it. So I do not have any problems with accessing my data now. I have not tried OOo2-beta but I like 1.1.4 and 1.1.3. OOo is really a lovely app. I will wait until the final release while I try out some other linux distros and learn new stuff. I hope to test ODBC on one of these other platforms to find out how it works on other distros.
