I don't disagree that it would be desirable to be able to get Office
products to "play nice" with the PostgreSQL ODBC driver (or vice versa), if
that's the OP's objective. On the other hand, if his objective is to pull
data into Word or Excel for the purposes he mentioned (the ends rather than
the means), the .udl approach works.
