You'll need to be more specific w/your info to the newsgroups.

Can't add fields through Access? You can't normally, unless you do this
as a Pass-Through query with the DDL statement to add a column.
Your best bet is to skip this, just add the column in psql, then
delete the linked table in Access and relink (you can use the Linked
table manager in Access to make relinking much easier)

Can't add rows? No idea w/out more info. Do you have permission to do
so? Can you change existing rows? What happens when you try to add them.

Followups to the newsgroups, only, please.
