Hallo!
Here I post the question again ...
I have installed Postgres 7.1 from source on my DLD computer.
Everything works fine, as I have access with my Perl-Scripts (after having
updated the appropriate Perl-module).
Now, I wanted to access the database to insert some data in Word (multiple
letters), so I installed the psqlodbc-07_01_0004 on the client, StarOffice
at least can access the database structure before complaining about
something (missing permissions, I suppose).
What Staroffice says does not matter, as I wanted to access the database
from Word. So in Word I selected "Extras", "Serienbrief" and created a
multiple letter from the actual document, selected as source "MS QUERY",
as that seems the only sensible thing to choose in a "FILE/OPEN" menu to
access a server (and not a file).
In MS-Query I created a new connection using the Postgres-ODBC driver,
configured it to access my server - and as I click on OK MS-Query breaks
down ("crashes" is maybe a better word) leaving me a messaage about
unrecoverable errors at 2374827432374 and asking me whether I wanted to
see more details or to close the warning-message.
On the client-side I run Win98 with Office 97 SBE, no upgrades or updates
have been ever run so far.
How can I access the database with word?
