EXCEL iODBC Sandbox problem

COMMENT today!
Please help! Excel is a sandboxed program & I need to import iODBC data! Tried all solutions, won't work. Also affects OpenSSL 1.1.
RUNNING Excel for Mac (365)
On mac os 12 (montrey) (since this MacBook can't run MacOS 13 or 14)
Error on Excel:
{{[iODBC][Driver Manager]dlopen(/Library/MariaDB/MariaDB-Connector-ODBC/libmaodbc.dylib, 0x0006): Library not loaded: '/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/lib/libssl.1.1.dylib'
Referenced from: '/Library/MariaDB/MariaDB-Connector-ODBC/libmaodbc.dylib'
Reason: tried: '/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/lib/libssl.1.1.dylib' (file system sandbox blocked open()), '/usr/local/lib/libssl.1.1.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/lib/libssl.1.1.dylib' (no such file)}}
Note the curly brackets are issue, not included with the source error
