[DUG] Use of ODBC drivers

Hi All
At one client site I have my application (written in D7) is connected to a DBISAM database behind a DBISAM server.
This site wants to develop an in-house (Net/MS-SQL) application which accesses other MS-SQL tables as well as my DBISAM tables (read-only).
Rather than convert my app to MS-SQL it seems that a low cost alternative would be for them to gain access to my data through an ODBC driver.
I have had no experience with ODBC and so I would be very interested in hearing the experiences of others who do have direct experience in reading data and presumably joining tables between MS-SQL databases and other databases accessed through ODBC (not necessarily DBISAM).
What IS possible? What is not?
Is it robust?
Are there any gotchas?
Are there any good resources that I can read up on?
Thanks
Mark
