Thanks for the advice, but I seem to still be having probs.
I can't leave out the name param as its required so the only option is to leave it blank. If I put anything else in its place then it comes back with an error that the files does not exist.
When I give an empty string as the name there are no errors, so assuming this is working how do I then extract the data from the dataconnectioin and print it in the doc?
With perl DBI it might be something like
$query = DBI->connect(etc...) ;
$query->fetchrow();
What it the equivelant for VB?
From your earlier post aren't you actually using VBA (Visual Basic for Applications)? i.e. in Word - if not let me know and I'll post some sample VB (as in the part of Visual Studio) code for you.
As for the ODBC driver, the office PostgreSQL driver is available at ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/odbc. There are .dlls in the Versions directory, and in the test directory is a full installation which seems to work well.
hth, regards Dave.
