I am a bit rusty on the internals on the psqlODBC driver as it relates to MS
Access. But as I seem to recall, Access cannot have a key column over 256
bytes. Text columns are virtually unbounded. This may explain some of your
tables linking problems. If you can, try changing some of those primary key
fields to varchar(255) or smaller.
Ultimately what you need to do is activate the logging feature in the driver
and attach a minimalist failure log file.
