Have you tried the weekly build marked from 2003-01-17? It might address
this problem. I've found that weekly builds from a lot of open source
projects are more stable than stable releases from many commercial
software developers. That said, it is a snap shot, so it might not work
perfectly, but it's the best bet I can think of for now. I think KOffice
or maybe Open Office has a database overlay thingie that can use odbc to
connect. I haven't needed anything more advanced than psql so I've never
spent a lot of time looking at pgaccess and it's brethren...
