The simplest way is usually to connect with psql and export CSV data with:
\copy (SELECT ....) to '/path/to/file.csv' csv
or for a whole table:
\copy tablename to '/path/to/file.csv' csv
For usage of COPY see:
\h COPY
and http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/sql-copy.html
... then load that CSV into MS SQL Server 2008 like you would anything else.
A more complicated but more powerful way is to use an ETL tool like
Pentaho or Talend to connect to both databases and merge/convert data.

You haven't really shown enough information. In particular, where does
this 'Postgre' variable/table/whatever come from? What is it?
You should look at the PostgreSQL server logs to see if PostgreSQL is
sending an error when you attempt the connection and if so, what it is.
Consider also setting log_statement = 'all' in postgresql.conf so you
can see exactly what queries this "openquery" tool runs against PostgreSQL.
Please reply via the mailing list ("reply all") in future.

I'm guessing you didn't see what I wrote in reply to your message, where
I said:

By the way, the easiest way to do this sort of thing is usually to
COPY tablename TO '/some/file.csv' CSV
from PostgreSQL, then load that file into MS SQL server. That's trivial
to script with vbscript or whatever you prefer, using psql to get the
data out of PostgreSQL.
