I have been using M$ Access for about 12 years now to create forms to = update postgresql data.

I use the postgresql odbc driver to establish a connection

There were a few issues to be worked out, for example getting Access = and postgresql to agree on how to handle boolean fields, how to fetch the = key field from postgresql after it adds a record (I think that has = improved since I started with ver. 7.x), but really not much else.

If you are interested I can post a few details.
