VBA 6 crashes with WIN2K, Postgres 8.1, why ? which dll ?? - Mailing list pgsql-odbc

Hi all,

I'm a beginner to MS Windows.
I began to to test VBA 6.0(SP6) with Postgresql 8.1 -with odbc- on
WIN2K(SP4).
For the test (accessing postgres db thru visual basic) I use the code,
given by the distro (psqlODBC HOWTO- Visual Basic).
The first problem I've encounted that the code in the given test snippet
is not full functioning:
"rs.Refresh"  doesn't implemented ?
I use in the "Project Preferences" "Microsoft ActiveXData Objects 2.1
library (msado21.tlb)

I've installed some other MS stuff on the machine, and now the Postgres
database call makes a memory exception and crashes.

Q 1.:  Is this general, or some libraries are wrong on my system ?
Q 2.: Which MS tools are to control/update the msado-libraries
Q.3.: Which msado or similars are necessary to connect with visual basic
to postgres ?

thank  you in advance
