Hi Tom, Due to the responses I received, I am now thoroughly convinced of the need to upgrade & have passed this information on. We are running RHEL 4.1 which is why the newer version did not install with RHEL. I initially was using an older version of psqlodbc, but decided to upgrade to the latest on my test machine hoping it would help. The users have the older psqlodbc. I will ask the pgsql-odbc group next. Thank you for your suggestions!

We have a table that is the main table in a production Microsoft Access application. Our users are complaining that sometimes they enter data in the form, move off of the record & then upon returning to the record the data reverts back to what existed in the field prior to the entry.FWIW, that sounds like it's entirely a client-side issue. So you might have better luck asking about it in pgsql-odbc.We are using PostgreSQL 8.1.4 on Red Hat, Microsoft Access 2002 & psqlodbc_09_00_0200.As noted elsewhere, 8.1.4 is really old (more than 4 years old in fact). It's likely not helping any that you're using a fresh-off-the-boat psqlodbc version with it --- I don't know that anyone would have done any significant testing of 09_00_0200 against an 8.1.x server. Red Hat is currently shipping Postgres 8.4.x for RHEL-5 (see the "postgresql84" package set). It'd be a good thing to consider updating to 8.4.x sometime soon. I doubt it'll fix this immediate problem, but it will likely save your data from getting eaten sometime in the future. regards, tom lane --
