Re: [INTERFACES] Re: access 2000 and postgres

I originally posted on this subject, and after posting trace logs was met
with silence. However, I have been in touch with others, and the consensus
is that Access 2000 breaks all 3rd party ODBC drivers not written with
Access 2000 in mind. Oddly, you can import data fine, and set up the links
correctly. It's *merely* that you can't use the linked table once you have
set it up. I have logged it with Microsoft as a bug, and suggest that as
many of you as possible who experience this problem do so too, as it may
make them address it.

I have heard nothing (surprise) from Microsoft.
