Hi,

I was in the same situation two years ago. PostgreSQL + ODBC is a very good
choice. Maybe you should download pgAdmin2, the GUI interface of PostgreSQL
from http://pgadmi.postgresql.org. It will be usefull.

The only problem I encoutered with Access was when using $M Jet, which is not
reliable. MS Access should be used with direct ODBC calls or better ADODB.

There is a good tutorial called Using PostgreSQL Access howto. Search for it
in Google.

Cheers,
