Re: Access 2000 & Views

I'm succesfully linking to Postgresql views.
One thing I did have to do to make editable views was to first create the
view as a table with a primary key then create the select rule. Then I just
created the update rules and everything worked fine.
I must admit I've had more problems linking to Access 97 than to 2000 (as 97
seems to dislike postgresql indexing things it can't). Admitably I'm using
psqlodbc7.01.0006. I really must get around to updating :)
