Wait, I think I have it!
Access will not allow you to index on LongVarchar data types OR character types
that are longer than 254 characters (255 with null). I bet these columns you
are having trouble with are Postgres TEXT types or varchars/chars that are over
254.
Check out the odbc driver setup options dialog. You can map TEXT fields to
plain varchar; then set the LongVarChar size to 254, and it should work!
