No, it's one of many oddities in Access/ODBC. Even on a small PG table
used by only one person we see this in Access. We haven't figured it
out, yet, but we know it doesn't occur on all tables. Our solution
will probably be to just phase out Access as we did with MSSQL but if
we figure it out I'll post the info.

Cheers,
Steve
