Are you sure this is the cause of the problem? I have been able to perform
INNER JOIN queries (and even outer joins) using Visual Basic 5.0 without
problems even if pgsql doesn't support them. The undelrying Jet database
engine performs the join using simpler queries. Things are pretty slow, but
it works. As far as I know Access should use the same Jet database engine
so things should be the same.

Any hint here?

ByX!
