Re: [INTERFACES] MS Access & PsqlODBC: Invalid field name 'name'

Set the "Recognize Unique Indexes" to disabled (unchecked).
Then, when Access asks you for a unique field, don't select anything and
hit ok.
Thus, you are telling access you have no index.

This should allow you to get at your data until we figure out what "name"
has to do with this problem.
