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

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>
postgresql-python-8.1.23-1.el5_6.1<o:p></o:p>
postgresql-test-8.1.23-1.el5_6.1<o:p></o:p>
postgresql-libs-8.1.23-1.el5_6.1<o:p></o:p>
postgresql-docs-8.1.23-1.el5_6.1<o:p></o:p>
postgresql-contrib-8.1.23-1.el5_6.1<o:p></o:p>
postgresql-8.1.23-1.el5_6.1<o:p></o:p>
postgresql-pl-8.1.23-1.el5_6.1<o:p></o:p>
postgresql-odbc-08.01.0200-3.1<o:p></o:p>
postgresql-jdbc-8.1.407-1jpp.4<o:p></o:p>
postgresql-server-8.1.23-1.el5_6.1<o:p></o:p>
postgresql-tcl-8.1.23-1.el5_6.1<o:p></o:p>
<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>
<o:p> </o:p>
