Howdoes it fixed with this ?

Postgres (at least 6.3.2) supports double quotes around identifiers.
This allows for embedded spaces and other characters to be used in table
names and field names. Therefore, at least under 6.3.2, something like
select "test1"."a" from "test1" is perfectly legal.
For ODBC, the driver now returns " as the identifier quote character.
Access then uses this character for identifiers.
Are you using an earlier version of Postgres that perhaps didn't support
quotes?
If 6.2 postgres doesn't support quotes, I could easily patch the driver
to not use quotes when using 6.2 protocol.
Please let me know.
