I am trying to recreate your test, but for some reason my ODBC
connection is failing (I don't even know if you are using ODBC).

If you are using ODBC, in the settings (for the ODBC driver) there
should be a flag named "True is -1" - select that (so it is "on" or
"true") - then retry your test.

BTW - in order for me to be able to replicate this, I am going to need
the following:

1. Complete property settings for the ADOdc control, including
properties and settings you used for the "ConnectionString" property.

2. Complete property settings for your PostgreSQL ODBC driver.
