I just tried linking this table with:
psqlODBC 07.02.0004
PostgreSQL 7.3rc1/Cygwin
Access XP
And it works perfectly using a DSN with all default settings:
ID Number
Date Opened Date/Time
Name Text
Account# Number
Date of Birth Text
Attending MD Text
Health Plan Category Text
County Text
Case Status Text
UR Notes Memo
Regards, Dave.
