RE: MS Access Frontend
Thanks Martin. I have decided to go another route. I have nothing but problems whenever I use Microsoft products. I personally think that Microsoft was shit when it started, and it is still shit 35 years later. So, I am just going to take Windows off my computers and put Linux on them and just use a different client.

Hi Jason
this is how i got the majority of work in the 90s
I have Database X that wont talk to Database Y
you can write a program that
parses the query from <Postgres>
accesses the data from <Access>
inserts to <Progress>
you can save time and $ if you accomplish one of these steps and contract for the remainder
Makes Sense?

Subject: MS Access Frontend
I am trying to setup MS Access as a frontend so that it would be easier on my wife and children to interact with PostgreSQL. I looked online for some tutorials but the ones I found are out-date or only pick up after Access is connected to PostgreSQL. I was wondering if someone knew of some updated material that they could point me to or maybe walk me through it. I have used Access quite a bit years ago and things have changed since then. I know I must install the ODBC drivers, which I have already done. I have already setup the DSN and I clicked on test and it says everything is fine. I know that my next step has something to do with Linked Tables in Access, but I am not sure how to set it up. I guess that is where I start to need help. The client computers using the frontend will be running Windows 10 and Office 365, both are updated to the latest versions.
Thank you,
Jason L. Amerson
