I'm getting some cases where the SQL sent from MS-Access is failing.
Looking at the postgres log shows that the field names and table names are not being quoted properly.
It has been my experience that Access usually does a better job at converting the queries than I would have expected, but not in this instance.

For example

Access: connection.Execute "UPDATE [" & strTable & "] SET [" & strTable & "].[InsertFlag] = Null" _
    & " WHERE ((([" & strTable & "].[InsertFlag])=" & lngCurrUID & "));", , adCmdText Or adExecuteNoRecords
Note that InsertFlag is bracketed the same way in both instances.

PSQL: UPDATE "public"."Orders" SET InsertFlag=NULL  WHERE ("InsertFlag" = 166 )
Note that InsertFlag is quoted once but not the other time.
Of course this gives the error: column "insertflag" of relation "Order Items" does not exist at character 35

Any suggestions on where to look?

Thanks,
Brad.
