You might try the pgsql-odbc or pgsql-interfaces lists - it's also worth
checking the archives for similar issues. I think the reason you've had no
success here is we're all waiting for someone with an answer to pipe up.

Well - I can think out loud FWIW.

Access thinks something has changed the values, so there are a couple of
things you can try:

1. Are you experiencing any timezone/clock-related problems elsewhere?
2. If you insert tuples then quit and restart Access can you edit them at
that time?
3. Can you edit all tuples from psql?
4. If you write a pass-through query to update tuples does that work?
5. If you write a function to update tuples does that work?

If it's any use here are the ODBC settings I use:

Database, Server, User Name, Password - set as required
Port: 5432
