With much thanks to Steven Merlin of Bern, here is his reply to the same
problem just a couple of weeks ago:
***************************************

The following Microsoft Office v4.2.x extensions are known to conflict with
all versions of Cell Quest:

Q+E ODBC FoxPro Driver
ODBC Configuration Manager
ODBC SQL Server TCP/IP NetLib
ODBC Driver Manager
ODBC SQL Server ADSP NetLib
ODBC SQL Server Driver
ODBC SQL Server Setup

You can try running Extension Manager that comes with System 7.5 of the
Mac/OS or Conflict Catcher 3.0.2 and see if changing the load order will
solve the problem. If not, create a custom set of extensions to load
without the MS Office ones. I did this on our Mac 7100 PPC running System
7.5.2 and CQ works fine.

Of additional note: Other extension conflicts with CQ are Timbuktu/Remote
with the Global Village Toolbox extension and the Visioneer PaperPort
Scanner extension.
