Vis Data ODBC

Hi all hope someone has an answer for me.

I can connect to my database from my Win98 client and view the records but the
Vis DAta app that comes with VBA complains that its in read only status.  I have
full authority to the database and my hba.conf file is set to trusted.  and yes
I did remove the read only check box from the ODBC driver DSN's.

I'm using debian and one side note I can change and edit in pgaccess,
I can not connect when  I change the auth mode to password or crypt so currently
I have it set up as trust.

Any insight is appreciated.

I think you need to select a "dynaset" recordset type.  The default is snapshot,
which is considered non-updateable by visdata.  Look at the left icons on the
toolbar.  If that doesn't work, you may also have to turn on the driver option
"Recognize unique indexes".
