I belive you use ODBC for conection. I never use PostgreSQL ODBC but in ACCESS
ODBC if you want to use transaction, you must use, before your transaction:

dbc set autocommit off

where dbc is your database conection. After you finishing your transaction:

dbc set autocommit on

I hope this help you!
