This is true for all versions of Access, and indeed if you change the port
or the host of your pgsql database, you will similarly need to drop and
relink all tables.

If you turn on in Access the option to view all system tables, and explore a
bit, you will see that the specific ODBC string generated from the DSN is
stored with the table definition.

I believe, though I haven't tried it, that it's possible to rewrite all
these tabledefs just to refer only to the DSN, and omit any specific
references. Going to be slower, though....
