Re: version considerations

There are no issues that I know of! Is this a problem with just MS Access? Can
you create a .UDL file, configure it and make a test connection? If not here
are some troubleshooting steps:

First, be certain that the postmaster was started with -i for internet access.
Make note of the port that it is listening on. Next, check your pg_hba.conf to
be certain that your windows machine has privleges to connect to your server,
specific database, and the authentication scheme is configured properly for
connections from the ODBC driver (MD5 passwords have been a hot issue recently
on the listserv). Last, verify that the user has access to the tables within
the database (although that wouldn't preclude connecting to the database, just
accessing data once connected.)

Questions about pg_hba.conf should probably be directed to
pgsql-admin(at)postgresql(dot)org (after reading about them in the docs.... :)

Specific error messages you receive would be good.

These are very simple suggestions. If you're beyond this, give us something
more to chew on...

HTH,
