Hi Ray,

If you don't see the PostgreSQL driver listed under "Drivers", then it
hasn't been installed properly. How did you install it? You usually need
to run the downloadable installer:

http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/odbc/versions/msi

Once the driver is installed, you create a DSN of the type of your
choice (system, user or file) by going to the appropriate tab and click
"Add".

Ray.
