Nope. I wanted to check my work first. Its my first attempt at using the
ODBC driver and MS-Access has changed (for the worse interface-wise) a lot
since v1.1. It may even have something to do with the way I've declared
the tables on the PostgreSQL side.

It's been a few weeks. I'll look again.

I too learn a lot from books. But on new subjects, a short class covering
the idea behind the technology really helps. A little theory goes a long
way. I can figure out the "How" if I know the "Why."
