I've ran into this problem before and then abandoned it out of
frustration, I'm coming back to it again.

Using Access 2000
Postgresql 7.3.4
ODBC driver 7.03.02.00 on WinXP

All tables I create have a unique index called "id" that is of type
"serial".
Setting "Row Versioning" in odbc driver does not make any difference.

If a table is created with 3 columns

id (serial)
field1 (varchar(255))
field2 (text)

This table is linked into an access file.

If data is typed in at the table view of the file.

Scenario 1:
    Only a value is filled in for field1.

     The information is inserted normally and everything is happy and good.

Scenario 2:
    Information is filled in for both field1 and field2.

    The information is inserted normally and everyting is happy and good.

Scenario 3:
    Only a value is filled in for field2.

    The information is inserted normally, but all fields will display
#Deleted across them appearing to the user to have failed.


Scenario 3 is what is bothering me the most. I have done quite a bit of
testing with this and this only occurs in conjunction with fields
recognized as type "memo" by access.
Please keep in mine that I have a unique index field called "id". The
same thing occurs wheather "Row Versioning" is turned on or off on the
driver.

I lean towards this being a MSAcess issue, can anyone give any input on
this and how i could correct it? Let me know if more info is needed.
