The difference is probably simple semantics for most. Because I can certainly imagine two people using either/or to mean the same thing.
By the strict definition an Approach would be less proven than Methodology. With an Approach being an idea or concept (or a series of ideas and concepts) one employs to deal with a situation or problem. Whereas a Methodology would normally start out as an approach, but have been time tested and developed into a system of procedures that are designed and tested to, and proven to help alleviate problems.
In the real world I see the two words are more interchangable. But by strict definition they're not.

An Approach is the way something is handled. It may vary and it is not necessary to follow a formula. Methodology is more specific and stringent. Far less latitude.
