size="2">I'mstruggling with the "Unable to obtain list of tables from the data source" error. This occurs in MS Word
2002when performing mail merge and opening an ODBC datasource, configured with the Postgresql driver. I tried several
versionof the driver, 7.1., 7.2, 7.3 and 8.0.1 with no luck. There is no need to go in further detail as this was
vastlydiscussed just a couple of month ago. (<a href="http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-odbc/2004-12/msg00056.php"
target="_blank"><fontcolor="#000000">http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-odbc/2004-12/msg00056.php</font></a>). I find
thatWord 2002 is more particular than older versions. Word 2000 plus the v7.3 driver (7.03.02.00) work fine. Now I
wonderhow newer MS Office versions behave. Did anybody ever try Word 2004 or 2005? (if these exist at all).
