Re: PostgreSQL -> ODBC -> MS ACCESS - Mailing list pgsql-interfaces

You have the right list.

I believe this error message is due to access adding "=" signs in the query where postgre doesnt expect them.  I think

posted a fix for this awhile back, I lost the email and would love to have this fix, as i'm sure you would too.

So if the kind gentleman/lady who posted that fix is still paying attention to the list, care to post the fix again?

Thanks in advance
