I have 2 problems with the 7.3.01 Unicode Beta (as well as 7.1.0115 from
http://www.geocities.jp/inocchichichi/psqlodbc/)

I have
MS Access 2000 on windows 2000 with latest MDAC
Postgres 7.3.4 on Linux

I use the following VB code within MS Access to link a table without
having a DSN
   Set db = CurrentDb()
   strConnect = "ODBC;DRIVER={PostgreSQL Unicode (Beta)};DATABASE=" +
     DB_NAME + ";SERVER=" + IP_ADDRESS + ";PORT=5433;UID=" +
     LOGIN + ";PWD=" + PASSWORD +
     ";A6=;A7=100;A8=4096;B0=254;B1=8190;BI=0;C2=dd_;CX=188103ab"

     Set tdef = db.CreateTableDef("xxxx")
     tdef.Connect = strConnect
     tdef.SourceTableName = "yyyyyy"
     db.TableDefs.Append tdef

This worked perfectly with the previous versions of the drivers. Now I
have the following problems:

Problem 1
==========
With both drivers the above code initially fails. 7.3.01 reports a 7711
error and versions 7.1.0115 Run-time error '3151'

Iff I manually link any table with a DSN datasource and rerun the above
code, it works perfectly (except the other problem I will describe later).
When I close Access and reopen it, I have again the same problem. if I
don't link manually a table, the code does not work

Problem 2
==========
although I specify CX=188103ab in the connection parameter, I get always
CX=1b503ab in the actually linked tables. In my specific case this does
not handle -1 as true.


Does any oneone have a workaround or a solution for this problems?

Regards

Stefanos
