VB and ODBC

I am a new to ODBC and relatively new to VB. I am trying to make a
connection to a postgres 7.0 DB from word via a VB macro. I think I have
installed the ODBC driver correctly (win98) and am trying to make a
connection via the VB module using the following.

Sub ClientOrder()   With ActiveDocument.MailMerge       .MainDocumentType = wdFormLetters       constr =
"DSN=PostgreSQL;"_                & "FIL=RedISAM;"      .OpenDataSource Name:="dbname", _      Connection:=constr,
SQLStatement:="SELECTClient_order_id FROM
 
client_order"   End With
End Sub

This does not work I think because of the .OpenDataSource Name:="dbname". In
other examples (ie access) it points directly the the DB File ie
'c:/somefile.mdb'. How would this work for postgres, is there an equivilant
on the linux box (I think not). Or could someone point me to some examples
of this.

Thanks in advance
