OK, it works fine, but the data is not copied, because of the large binary objects (the message is quite clear).
I will look at ftp://ftp.sdc.com.au/pub/repl for "a general purpose database replicator for any pair of databases which inderstand ODBC" (as posted in this list by Stephen Davies).

The last (I hope) problem is due to database protection : my Access databases are password protected, by an Access Workgroup (MDW file). pgAdmin says it can't access the database, even if I type the right Username/Password in the Database Migration Wizard. The message is :

I have tested pgAdmin with OLE fields in an Access MDB, and they seem to
work correctly on my system (that is, the table is created, but the
Migration Wizard cannot migrate blob data and will ignore it). My guess is
that you do not have the lo datatype configured on your PostgreSQL system.
If this is the case, you can create it with the following SQL:

CREATE TYPE "lo" ( internallength = 4, 
                   externallength = 10, 
                   input = int4in, 
                   output = int4out, 
                   send = int4out, 
                   receive = int4in, 
                   default = '',
                   passedbyvalue);

Dave.
