Tom,
Thanks for your note. Not to be ungracious, (RTFM would always be good
advice, were it not for the fact that manuals are written at greater speed
than one can read them) but I don't see how this adds up: I'm not on a
network, and PSQL, which is a front end to PostgreSQL, just like PGAccess is
supposed to be, is running fine.
Let me rephrase the question this way: since PSQL works, why wouldn't
PGAccess?
Cheers,
-dlj.
