playssome dirty trick and I don't want to promote MS Office to much here. But I found a 99% solution for postgresql to
atleast overtrump sqlserver.</font><p><font size="2" style="FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Intended to use
theOffice 2000 version on a seperate PC, just for mail merge. But when I opened an existing Main Document from Word XP
bychance, no error occured at all and it could be happily used. Text and Merge fields can be added to the layout and
querycriteria can be changed. So I only need Word 2000 to create an empty Main document with the datasource attached
andsave this as a template Main document for Word XP. Not sure if XP also lets you change the table here. I use only
oneview and pre-select that in the template with all its columns and a dummy criterium to reduce the initial amount of
data.</font><p><fontsize="2" style="FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Did not see any happy users yet (there is
anoverwhelming amount of icons and options in Word XP) but the data is in their hands now.</font><p><font size="2"

size="2">Hello,</font><p><fontface="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">I'm struggling with the "Unable to obtain
listof tables from the data source" error. This occurs in MS Word 2002 when performing mail merge and opening an ODBC
datasource,configured with the Postgresql driver. I tried several version of the driver, 7.1., 7.2, 7.3 and 8.0.1 with
noluck. There is no need to go in further detail as this was vastly discussed just a couple of month ago. (<a

color="#000000">http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-odbc/2004-12/msg00056.php</font></a>).I find that Word 2002 is
moreparticular than older versions. Word 2000 plus the v7.3 driver (7.03.02.00) work fine. Now I wonder how newer MS
Officeversions behave. Did anybody ever try Word 2004 or 2005? (if these exist at all). </font><p><font face="Arial,
