This syntax is legal on Access - does the log say it's being executed
against PostgreSQL?

That's definately wierd. It's also handled by VB so there's not much I
can do. I guess I could write a string there at startup.

I would avoid capitals if possible. Stick to a-z, 0-9 and _

In this version tables are listed under a dummy schema, so make sure you
expand Schemas -> Public in the treeview. This new structure is designed
for PostgreSQL 7.3, but with maximum backward compatibility without
things getting overly complex.
