Re: MS products and Postgres via ODBC

afternon JohnG,

I know from excel, if you have the ODBC driver installed and a system DSN
made, you will have no problems using the Get External Data menu entry to
query from a PG database.  Dunno about Word, but it's probobly very similar
since they both can use MS Query data sources

hope this helps
corey

Subject:    [ODBC] MS products and Postgres via ODBC

Hello all,

    Is there a way, other then using an Access database or putting
everything in lower case, to allow MS Word and MS Excel to access the
Postgres database directly?  We would like to use Postgres instead of our
current database(s) but not being able to use this directly could prevent
this.

    (I think I may have seen this come up before as a quoting issue, but
I'm not 100% sure on that.)

Thank you for any help you can provide.

John
