Okay, 
 
   You may want to start at the index and read the manual.   
 
    But I think you need to "grant select ................" to your ODBC user for your permissions issue.

By changing the user that I login with to a super user, everything works. I don’t get the permission denied error.<o:p></o:p>
However, I only want the users to read. Being set as a super user allows the odbc user to change the data.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
My problem is now down to two security points:<o:p></o:p>
How do I have a user with only read access (not a super user) and not be denied viewing the table data?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
How do I control access with listen_address=’localhost, specific.ip.addresses’ and not use ‘*’?<o:p></o:p>
Setting listen_address=’localhost, specific.ip.addresses’ does not work, I get call failed errors asking if the server is accepting tcp/ip connections on port 5432<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Thanks<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>
By editing postgresql.conf and changing listen_address = ‘*’ and editing pg_hba.conf and adding host all all my.ip.address allowed me to connect to the postgresql data base with Microsoft access. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
In access I can see the table and it fields, but if I try to use the table in a querry or view the table I get an error: permission denied for relation summer_finaid; error while executing the query (#7)<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Any ideas?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Also in the postgresql instead of listen_address=’*’ I tried listen_address=’localhost, my.ip.address’ but that failed to work.<o:p></o:p>
How can I keep local host and only allow specific address? I don’t want to open it up to all with ‘*’<o:p></o:p>

Why, <o:p></o:p>
 <o:p></o:p>
    That's a vintage 02-Feb-2006 driver.<o:p></o:p>
 <o:p></o:p>
     I use 8.04 from Dec-2009 and even that's getting a little stale.  Why not try the 9.n drivers.<o:p></o:p>
 <o:p></o:p>
     Could the port(s) be blocked / restricted between you and the server and is PostgreSQL SSL support enabled -- <o:p></o:p>

Before learning there was an odbc list, I sent this post to the admin list.<o:p></o:p>
 <o:p></o:p>
I am running postgres on a red hat linux server.<o:p></o:p>

User on windows computers would like to odbc to the postgres databases.<o:p></o:p>
I downloaded the windows postgres odbc drivers from the following site and installed version “psqlodbc-08_01_0200” on the windows computer.<o:p></o:p>
<A href="http://ftp9.us.postgresql.org/pub/mirrors/postgresql/odbc/versions/msi/" target=_blank>http://ftp9.us.postgresql.org/pub/mirrors/postgresql/odbc/versions/msi/</A><o:p></o:p>
 <o:p></o:p>
When I configure a “File Data Source” connection in access, I cannot connect to the postgresql database. I get the message, “A connection could not be made using the file data source parameters entered. Save non-verified file DSN?”<o:p></o:p>
The parameters entered are:<o:p></o:p>
Database: database_name<o:p></o:p>
Server: I entered the IP address of the server<o:p></o:p>
User Name: I entered postgres<o:p></o:p>
Password:<o:p></o:p>
SSL Mode: prefer<o:p></o:p>
Port: 5432 (which is the port used by postgres)<o:p></o:p>
 <o:p></o:p>
Do I need to configure the /etc/odbc.ini file? It is currently just a blank file.<o:p></o:p>
 <o:p></o:p>
Thanks for any help.<o:p></o:p>
