Ok, I'm confused... I've read most of the messages in my archives that deal with PGSQL, ODBC... I would like to develop some applications using VB6 to access PGSQL databases on Linux remotely over the Internet. Can someone point me to an ODBC driver that would enable this? Should I use P. Harvey's driver, or something else... what is postODBC? iODBC? I don't find any references on the PGSQL web site and can't find other web sites that would have these. Suggestions welcome! Thanks, Alfredo Haeussler
