Have you succesfully used the jdbc read-only driver (8.98.3) with MS Office products?

Since the ODA client requires a web development client install, we don't roll it out to any of our users.  We are very interested in the jdbc read-only driver.  We would like to use it with MS Office, specifically MS Access to assist users with ad-hoc queries.  I've pulled several documents from the knowledge area, but can't seem to get complete information on how to connect to the DAD service.  Has any one been able to use the jdbc read-only driver in this way?  If so, any and all pointers are helpful.  Thanks.
