Here is the psqlodbc.log file. The first time the form opens, it correctly
opens the first rentalorder. I immediately moved to the new record in
Access which opens a message box with an ODBC error (no description). I the
blank rental order looks okay but the rental order lines records all have
errors. Even if I move back to a valid record, the order lines will show
only errors.

Logs, logs, logs (see my last response). I don't know how else to
put it!
Its next to impossible to figure things out without the logs.
