Hi, Joe,

I'd say : make an ODBC- connection to the PostgreSQL database from within
Access. Then, import the (local) Access table's data into the linked Access
table. I think this should do (provided you don't have some other exotic
conversion needs). I wouldn't convert the Access data into text format and
import these into PostgreSQL?

Regards,

Philippe Bertin.
